Bonny Ship the Diamond

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 (Hey), 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
