Bonny Ship The Diamond lyrics

The Diamond is a ship, me lads, for the Davis Strait we're bound

The quay it is all garnished with bonnie lasses 'round

Captain Thompson gives the orders to sail the ocean wide

Where the sun it never sets, me lads, nor darkness dims the sky

For it's cheer up me lads, let your hearts never fail

For the bonny ship, the Diamond, goes a-fishing for the whale

For it's cheer up me lads, let your hearts never fail

For the bonny ship, the Diamond, goes a-fishing for the whale

Along the quay of Peterhead, the lasses stand around

Wi' their shawls all pulled around

Their necks and the salt tears runnin' down

Well don't you weep, my bonny lass, though you'll be left behind

For the rose will bloom on Greenland's ice before we change our mind

For it's cheer up me lads, let your hearts never fail

For the bonny ship, the Diamond, goes a-fishing for the whale

For it's cheer up me lads, let your hearts never fail

For the bonny ship, the Diamond, goes a-fishing for the whale

Here's a health to the Resolution, likewise the Eliza Swan

Three cheers to the Battler of Montrose and the Diamond, ship of fame

We wear the trousers of the white and the jackets of the blue

When we get back to Peterhead, we'll have sweethearts anew

For it's cheer up me lads, let your hearts never fail

For the bonny ship, the Diamond, goes a-fishing for the whale

For it's cheer up me lads, let your hearts never fail

For the bonny ship, the Diamond, goes a-fishing for the whale

It will be bright both day and night when Greenland lads come hame

Our ship full up with oil, my lads, and money to our name

We'll make the cradles for to rock and the blankets for to tear

And every lass in Peterhead sing: "Hushabye, my dear"

For it's cheer up me lads, let your hearts never fail

For the bonny ship, the Diamond, goes a-fishing for the whale

For it's cheer up me lads, let your hearts never fail

For the bonny ship, the Diamond, goes a-fishing for the whale

For it's cheer up me lads, let your hearts never fail

For the bonny ship, the Diamond, goes a-fishing for the whale

For it's cheer up me lads, let your hearts never fail

For the bonny ship, the Diamond, goes a-fishing for the whale
