The Bonnie Ship the Diamond
The Diamond is a ship, my lads For the Davis Strait she's bound and 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
And it's cheer up my lads Let your hearts never fail For the bonnie ship the Diamond Goes a-fishing for the whale
Along the quay at Peterhead The lasses stand around Wi' their shawls all pulled about them And the saut tears runnin' doon 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 my lads Let your hearts never fail For the bonnie ship the Diamond Goes a-fishing for the whale
Hoy! Hoy! Hoy! Hoy hoy!
Hoy! Hoy! Hoy! Hoy hoy!
Here's a health to the Resolution Likewise to Eliza Swan Here's a health to the Battler of Montrose Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com And the Diamond, ship of fame We wear the trousers o' the white The jackets o' the blue When we return to Peterhead We'll hae sweethearts enou'
And it's cheer up my lads Let your hearts never fail For the bonnie ship the Diamond Goes a-fishing for the whale
Hoy! Hoy! Hoy! Hoy hoy!
Hoy! Hoy! Hoy! Hoy hoy!
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'
And it's cheer up my lads Let your hearts never fail For the bonnie ship the Diamond Goes a-fishing for the whale
And it's cheer up my lads Let your hearts never fail For the bonnie ship the Diamond Goes a-fishing for the whale
