The Bonnie Ship the Diamond

The Diamond is a ship, my lads
 For the Davis Strait we're bound
 The quay it is all garnished with
 Lasses all around
 Captain Thompson gives the order
 To sail the ocean wide
 With the sun it never sets, my lads
 Nor darkness dims the sky
 For it's cheer up my lads
 Let your hearts never fail
 For the bonnie ship, the Diamond, goes a-hunting for the whale
 Along the quay at Peterhead
 The lasses stood around
 With the shawls all pulled around them
 And their salt tears runnin' down
 Don't you weep, my bonny wee lads
 Though you'll left behind
 For the rose will grow on Greenland's ice
 Before we change our mind
 For it's cheer up my lads
 Let your hearts never fail
 For the bonnie ship, the Diamond, goes a-hunting for the whale
 Here's a health to the Resolution
 Likewise-y Elize-y Swan
 Three cheers to the Battler of Montrose
 And the Diamond ship of fame
 We wear the trousers of the white
 And jackets all a-blue
 When we get back to the Peterhead
 We'll have sweethearts anew
 For it's cheer up my lads
 Let your hearts never fail
 For the bonnie ship, the Diamond, goes a-hunting for the whale
 It will be bright both day and night
 When the Greenland lads come hame
 The ship fill up with oil, my lads
 And the money to our name
 We'll make the cradles for the rock
 And blankets for our tear
 And every lass in Peterhead sing
 "Hushabye, my dear"
 For it's cheer up my lads
 Let your hearts never fail
 For the bonnie ship, the Diamond, goes a-hunting for the whale
 For the bonnie ship, the Diamond, goes a-hunting for the whale
 For the bonnie ship, the Diamond, goes a-hunting for the whale
