Not a wave in straights and narrows
White her shoulders, cresting seafoam,
Out by Uist, and by Lewis
As the sun sets on Mingulay

Chorus

Wives are waiting by the harbour,
They' ve been waiting, since break of day boys,
They' ve been waiting for their loved one,
As the sun sets on Mingulay

Chorus

What care we though wild the minch is,
What care we for wind or weather,
Hail ya ho boys, and we'll anchor
As the sun sets on Mingulay.

Chorus
