Lyrics
'The Diamond' is the ship, me boys For the Davis Strait we're bound And the quay it is all garnished With bonnie lasses 'round Captain Thompson gives the orders To sail the ocean wide And we're bound for the land where the sun don't set The darkness dims the skies And it's cheer up, me lads Let your hearts never fail For the bonny ship The Diamond's gone a-fishin' for the whale And it's cheer up, me lads Let your hearts never fail For thе bonny ship The Diamond's gone a-fishin' for the whalе Along the quay at Peterhead The lasses stand around With their shawls all wrapped around them And their salt tears runnin' down No, don't you weep, my bonny lass Though you'll be left behind A rose will grow on Greenland's shore Before we'll change our minds And it's cheer up, me lads Let your hearts never fail For the bonny ship The Diamond's gone a-fishin' for the whale And it's cheer up, me lads Let your hearts never fail For the bonny ship The Diamond's gone a-fishin' for the whale Here's a-health to the Resolution Likewise to the Eliza Swan Here's a-health to the Battle of Montrose And the Diamond of our fame We wears the trousers of the white The jackets of the blue And when we get home to Peterhead We'll have sweethearts anew And it's cheer up, me lads Let your hearts never fail For the bonny ship The Diamond's gone a-fishin' for the whale And it's cheer up, me lads Let your hearts never fail For the bonny ship The Diamond's gone a-fishin' for the whale It will be bright both day and night When the whalin' boys come home With a ship that's full of oil, me boys And money to our name We got the cradle for to rock The blanket for to tear When we get home to Peterhead It's hush-a-bye my dear And it's cheer up, me lads Let your hearts never fail For the bonny ship The Diamond's gone a-fishin' for the whale And it's cheer up, me lads Let your hearts never fail For the bonny ship The Diamond's gone a-fishin' for the whale Hoy!
