Bonnie Ship the Diamond |
| The Diamond is a ship me lads |
| For the Davis Straits she’s bound |
| And the Quay it is all garnished |
| With bonnie lassies round |
| Captain Thompson gives the order |
| To sail the ocean wide |
| Where the sun it never sets me lads |
| Nor darkness dims the sky |
| Chorus: |
| And it’s cheer up, me lads |
| Let your hearts never fail |
| For the bonnie ship The Diamond |
| Goes a-fishing for the whale |
| Along the quay at Peterhead |
| The lassies stand around |
| Wi' their shawls all pulled about them |
| And the salt tears runnin' down |
| Oh 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 |
| Here’s a health to The Resolution |
| Likewise the Eliza Swan |
| Here’s a health to the Battler of Montrose |
| And The Diamond ship of fmae |
| We wear the trousers of the white |
| And the jackets of the blue |
| When we return to Peterhead |
| We’ll hae sweethearts anoo |
