[Intro]
[Verse 1]
The Diamond is a ship, me lads, for
the Davis Strait we're bound,
the quay it is all garnished with
bonny 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
[Chorus]
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.
[Verse 2]
Along the quay of Peterhead, the
lasses stand around,
Wi' shawls all pulled around them
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
[Chorus]
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.
[Verse 3]
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 jackets of the blue,
When we get back to Peterhead, we'll
have sweethearts anew,
[Chorus]
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.
[Verse 4]
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"
[Chorus]
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.
