  • I bawled my eyes out... blessings to the boggards and the wonderful ppl involvd in this. I'm from a military family and my grandpa sank u-boats and my other met my grandmother on the Queen Mary when she was the Grey Ghost.. If it wasn't 4 the Queen Mary, I wouldn't have been born... curse or blessing that I was born; I'm not sure..

  • Semper Fidelis.

  • An excellent version of the song.  And certainly not too fast at all. As a Celt, I usually object to our songs being appropriated, however I approve of this; very nice.

  • @tehbunnei This is as authentic a sea shanty as Barret's Privateers. It was written by Hugh Robertson long after Mingulay was abandoned....

  • Just shouting out for my friend Shawn who just got his purple heart who nearly got KIA in Afghanistan about a year ago.

  • @theRekcabofD : it is a small island belonging to the outer Hebridies at the west coast of Scotland. It's especially famous for it heavy storms and weather and tricky for the sailors.

  • To all those that answer the call to service for my country, my thanks.

    I can never hope to repay the debt I owe you all.

  • This is an updated version of the song and lyrically it is fantastic, the singers are fabulous but the tempo is way too fast.. The song is meant to sway like a tide. I would love to hear the slower version by you guys. PS it aint a Boggards song!

  • Beautifully done...I need a tissue now.

  • Very well done Robert, thanks !

  • My being prior service and having may friends and family still in. some of which unfortunately are not coming home, i would just like to say this was beautifully done. Very well done for that matter. And using the boggards song Mingulay made it that much better. Thank you.

  • Thanks, my son in law was just seriously wounded last week. My daughter is with him in Germany now.

  • You have our prayers. I hope he comes through.

  • Thank your son in law for his sacrifice. And you and your daughter for yours. Because of him and his brother's and sister's sacrifices as well as the sacrifices of their loved ones, my children and grandchildren will sleep safely and in peace tonight.
