The Bonnie Ship The Diamond |
The Diamond is a ship, my lads |
For the Davis Strait we’re bound |
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 |
For it’s cheer up my lads |
Let your hearts never fail |
For the bonnie ship the Diamond |
Goes a-hunting for the whale |
Along the quay at Peterhead |
The lasses stand aroon |
Wi' their shawls all pulled around them |
And the saut tears runnin' doon |
Don’t you weep, my bonnie wee 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 |
Three cheers for the Battler of Montrose |
And the Diamond, ship of fame |
We wear the trousers o' the white |
The jackets o' the blue |
When we get back to Peterhead |
We’ll hae sweethearts enou' |
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» |
