The Diamond is a ship, my lads
For the Davis Strait she is 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, me lads
No darkness dims the sky
And it's cheer up, me lads, let your hearts never fail
For the bonnie ship the Diamond goes a-fishing for the whale
Along the quays of Peterhead
The lasses stand around
Their shawls all pulled around them
And their salt tears running down
Now don't you weep, my bonnie lass
Though you be left behind
For the rose will bloom on Greenland's ice
Before we change our mind
And it's cheer up, me lads, let your hearts never fail
For the bonnie ship the Diamond goes a-fishing for the whale
Here's health to the Resolution
Likewise the Eliza Swan
Here's health to the Battler of Montrose
And the Diamond, ship of fame
We wear the trousers of the white
The jackets of the blue
When we return to Peterhead
We'll have sweethearts enou'
And it's cheer up, me lads, let your hearts never fail
For the bonnie ship the Diamond goes a-fishing for the whale
Oh, it'll be bright both day and night
When whaling lads come home
In a ship that's full of oil, me boys
And money to our name
We'll make the cradles all to rock
And the blankets all to tear
And every lass in Peterhead
Sing Hushabye My Dear
And it's cheer up, me lads, let your hearts never fail
For the bonnie ship the Diamond goes a-fishing for the whale
For the bonnie ship the Diamond goes a-fishing for the whale
