| 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
|
| 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
|
| And it’s cheer up, me 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 the Eliza Swan
|
| Here’s a health to the Battler of Montrose
|
| And The Diamond ship of fame
|
| We wear the trousers of the white
|
| And the jackets of the blue
|
| When we return to Peterhead
|
| We’ll hae sweethearts enoo
|
| And it’s cheer up, me 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 hame
|
| Wi' a ship that’s fu' o' oil me 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, me lads
|
| Let your hearts never fail
|
| For the bonnie ship The Diamond
|
| Goes a-fishing for the whale! |
