Bonnie Ship the Diamond Video (MV)

The Diamond is a ship, mi lads
For the Davis Strait she s bound
And the quay it is all garnished
With bonnie lasses 'round

When Captain Thompson gives the or`
To sil the ocean wide
Sun it never sets, me lads
Nor darkness dims the sky

And it's cheer up me lads
Let your hearts never fail
For the bonnie ship the Diamond
Goes a-searching for the whale

Along the quay at Peterhead
The lasses stand aroon
Their shawls all pulled around them
And the saut tears runnin' doon

But don't you weep, my bonnie lass
Though you be left behind
The rose will grow 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-searching for the whale
Here's a health to the Resolution
Likewise the Eliza Swan
Three cheers for the Battle of Montrose

And the Diamond, ship of fame
We wear the jackets o' the whit
The trousers o' the blue
When we return to Peterhead

We'll hae sweethearts enou'
It will be bright both day and night
When the Greenland lads come hame
With the ship thats full of oil, my lads

And money to our name
We'll make the cradle for to rock
And the blankets for to tear
Make every lass in Peterhead sing
""Hushabye, my dear"
