Bonnie Ship the Diamond

The Diamond is a ship me lads
 For the Davis Straits she's bound
 And the Quay it is all garnished
 With bonnie lassies round
 Captain Thompson gives the order
 To sail the ocean wide
 Where the sun it never sets me lads
 Nor darkness dims the sky
 And it's cheer up, me lads
 Let your hearts never fail
 For the bonnie ship The Diamond
 Goes a-fishing for the whale
 And it's cheer up, me lads
 Let your hearts never fail
 For the bonnie ship The Diamond
 Goes a-fishing for the whale
 Along the quay at Peterhead
 The lassies stand around
 Wi' their shawls all pulled about them
 And the salt tears runnin' down
 Oh don't you weep, my bonnie lass
 Though you be left behind
 For the rose will grow on Greenland's ice
 Before we change our mind
 And it's cheer up, me lads
 Let your hearts never fail
 For the bonnie ship The Diamond
 Goes a-fishing for the whale
 And it's cheer up, me lads
 Let your hearts never fail
 For the bonnie ship The Diamond
 Goes a-fishing for the whale
 Here's a health to The Resolution
 Likewise the Eliza Swan
 Here's a health 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 return to Peterhead
 We'll hae sweethearts anoo
 And it's cheer up, me lads
 Let your hearts never fail
 For the bonnie ship The Diamond
 Goes a-fishing for the whale
 And it's cheer up, me lads
 Let your hearts never fail
 For the bonnie ship The Diamond
 Goes a-fishing for the whale
 Here's a health to The Resolution
 Likewise the Eliza Swan
 Here's a health 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 return to Peterhead
 We'll hae sweethearts anoo
 And it's cheer up, me lads
 Let your hearts never fail
 For the bonnie ship The Diamond
 Goes a-fishing for the whale
 And it's cheer up, me lads
 Let your hearts never fail
 For the bonnie ship The Diamond
 Goes a-fishing for the whale
 And it's cheer up, me lads
 Let your hearts never fail
 For the bonnie ship The Diamond
 Goes a-fishing for the whale
 And it's cheer up, me lads
 Let your hearts never fail
 For the bonnie ship The Diamond
 Goes a-fishing for the whale
