Bonny Ship The Diamond

[00:11.15] The Diamond is a ship, me lads, for the Davis Strait we're bound

[00:15.90] The quay it is all garnished with bonnie lasses 'round;

[00:21.15] Captain Thompson gives the orders to sail the ocean wide

[00:26.16] O and the sun it never sets, me lads, nor darkness dims the sky

[00:30.40] For it's cheer up me lads, let your hearts never fail

[00:35.90] For the bonny ship, the Diamond, goes a-fishing for the whale

[00:40.66] For it's cheer up me lads, let your hearts never fail

[00:45.90] For the bonny ship, the Diamond, goes a-fishing for the whale

[00:59.90] Along the quay of Peterhead, the lasses stand around

[01:04.91] With shawls all pulled around them and their salt tears runnin' down;

[01:09.65] Well don't you weep, my bonny lass, though you'll be left behind

[01:14.66] For the rose will bloom on Greenland's ice before we change our mind

[01:19.41] For it's cheer up me lads, let your hearts never fail

[01:24.66] For the bonny ship, the Diamond, goes a-fishing for the whale

[01:48.41] Here's a health to the Resolution, likewise the Eliza Swan

[01:53.40] Three cheers for the Battler of Montrose and the Diamond, ship of fame;

[01:58.41] We wear the trousers of the white and jackets of the blue

[02:03.41] When we get back to Peterhead, we'll have sweethearts anew

[02:08.16] For it's cheer up me lads, let your hearts never fail

[02:13.41] For the bonny ship, the Diamond, goes a-fishing for the whale

[02:18.15] For it's cheer up me lads, let your hearts never fail

[02:23.40] For the bonny ship, the Diamond, goes a-fishing for the whale

[02:37.15] It will be bright both day and night when Greenland lads come hame

[02:42.15] Our ship full up with oil, me lads, and money to our name;

[02:47.16] We'll make the cradles for to rock and the blankets for to tear

[02:52.15] And every lass in Peterhead sing: "Hushabye, my dear"

[02:56.91] For it's cheer up me lads, let your hearts never fail
