Bonnie Ship the Diamond |
| Oh the Diamond is a ship me lads, for the Davis strait she’s bound |
| And the key it is all garnished wae bonnie lassies round |
| Captain Thompson gees the orders, to sail the ocean wide |
| Where the sun it never sets me lads, and darkness dims the sky |
| Oh the Diamond is a ship me lads, for the Davis strait she’s bound |
| And the key it is all garnished wae bonnie lassies round |
| Captain Thompson gees the orders, to sail the ocean wide |
| Where the sun it never sets me lads, and darkness dims the sky |
| All along the key at Peterhead, the lassies stand around |
| Wae their shawls aw poo’d aboot them, and their sawt tears runnin' doon |
| 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 your mind |
| And it’s cheer up my lads |
| Let your hearts never fail |
| For the bonnie ship the Diamond |
| Here’s a health to the Resolution and likewise the Eliza Swan |
| Here’s a health to the Battler o' Montrose and the Diamond ship o' fame |
| We wear the troosers o' the white and the jackets o' the blue |
| When we return tae Peterhead we’ll hae sweethearts anew |
| And it’s cheer up my lads |
| Let your hearts never fail |
| For the bonnie ship the Diamond |
| Goes a fishing for the whale |
| My heart has been torn from me and I am bleeding |
| My soul has been wrent from me and I am crying |
| All the beauty around my fades and I am screaming |
| I am the last of the great Whales, and I am dying |
| It’ll be bricht both the day and nicht when the Greenland lads come hame |
| Wae a ship that’s full of oil me lads money tae oor name |
| We’ll mak the cradles for tae rock and the blankets for tae tear |
| And every lass in Peterhead sing 'hushabye my dear' |
