Bonnie Ship the Diamond
The Diamond is a ship, my lads For the Davis Strait she's bound, And the quay it is all garnished With bonny lasses 'round. Captain Thompson gives the order To sail the ocean wide, Where the sun it never sets, my lads No 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 quays of Peterhead The lasses stand around, Their shawls all pulled about them And the salt tears running down. Now don't you weep, my bonny lass Though you be left behind, For the rose will bloom 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.

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'll be bright both day and night When the Greenland lads come home With a ship that's full of oil my lads And money to their name We'll make the cradles all 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.
