The Diamond is a ship my boys, for Greenland she is bound And the quay it is all garnished with bonny lassies 'round The Captain gives the order to sail the ocean wide Where the sun it never sets my lads no darkness dims the tide [Chorus] So cheer up my lads let your hearts never fail While the Bonnie Ship the Diamond goes fishin' for the whale Along the quay at Peterhead, the lassies stand around With their shawls about their heads and salt tears runnin' down I'll never weep my bonny lad though I'm left behind For there's not a rose on Greenland's ice to make you change your mind [Chorus] Here's a health to the Resolution likewise the Eliza Swan A health to the Battler of Montrose and the Diamond ship of fame They wear the trousers of the white the jackets of the blue When they return to Peterhead they'll find that we've been true [Chorus] It'll be bright both day and night when the Greenland lads come home With a ship that's full of oil my lads and money to their name They'll make the cradles for to rock and the blankets for to tear And every lass in Peterhead sing hush-a-bye my dear [Chorus]
