The Bonnie Ship, The Diamond - Dave Guard

The Diamond is a ship my lads

For the Davis Strait she's bound

And the quay it is all garnished

With bonnie lasses 'round

Captain Thompson gives the order

To sail the ocean wide

Where the sun it never sets my lads

Nor darkness dims the sky

And it's cheer up my lads

Let your hearts never fail

For the bonnie ship the Diamond

Goes a-fishing for the whale

Along the quay at Peterhead

The lasses stand around

Wi' their shawls all pulled about them

And the saut tears runnin' doon

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 my 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 to Eliza Swan

Here's a health to the Battler of Montrose

And the Diamond ship of fame

We wear the trousers o' the white

The jackets o' the blue

When we return to Peterhead

We'll hae sweethearts enou'

And it's cheer up my lads

Let your hearts never fail

For the bonnie ship the Diamond

Goes a-fishing for the whale

It will be bright both day and night

When the 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

And it's cheer up my lads

Let your hearts never fail

For the bonnie ship the Diamond

Goes a-fishing for the whale

And it's cheer up my lads

Let your hearts never fail

For the bonnie ship the Diamond

Goes a-fishing for the whale
