Lyrics

Oh the sky was shaking as we turned her round 

Through the crashing spray of the Cuillin Sound 

And all hands were silent on that final day 

As we sailed the Mhairi Bhan home 

And that tired old lady she had served us well 

Through the straits and calms to the banks of Hell 

And all hearts were broken on that final day 

As we sailed the Mhairi Bhan home 

Ho-ro-ee-o with the wind she braved us 

Ho-ro-ee-o across the waves she sailed us 

Ho-ro-ee-o her children of the sea 

Now a man is foolish if he thinks he knows 

All of times delusions, its ebbs and flows 

But all eyes were empty on that final day 

As we sailed the Mhairi Bhan home 



And we have the children and their growth to feed 

But there's no relaxing our nation's greed 

And all future perished on that final day 

As we sailed the Mhairi Bhan home 

Ho-ro-ee-o etc. 

He is our captain and he is a brave and rolling man 

A salty dog we all agree 

He tells us stories of the fishing in his father's time 

That we find just too hard to believe 

He is our captain and he's not afraid to face the wind 

And with the wind he's not afraid to run 

But poor progress has put his ship upon these rugged 

rocks 

And now all his sailing is done 

Ho-ro-ee-o etc.
