|
\beginverse
|
||
|
|
The Diamond is a ship, my lads
|
||
|
|
For the Davis Strait we're bound
|
||
|
|
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
|
||
|
|
\endverse

|
\beginchorus
|
||
|
|
For it's cheer up my lads
|
||
|
|
Let your hearts never fail
|
||
|
|
For the bonnie ship the Diamond
|
||
|
|
Goes a-hunting for the whale
|
||
|
|
\endchorus
|
||
|
|
|

|
|
\beginverse
|
||
|
|
Along the quay at Peterhead
|
||
|
|
The lasses stand aroon
|
||
|
|
Wi' their shawls all pulled around them
|
||
|
|
And the saut tears runnin' doon
|
||
|
|
Don't you weep, my bonnie wee lass
|
||
|
|
Though you be left behind
|
||
|
|
For the rose will grow on Greenland's ice
|
||
|
|
Before we change our mind
|
||
|
|

\beginverse
|
||
|
|
Here's a health to the Resolution
|
||
|
|
Likewise the Eliza Swan
|
||
|
|
Three cheers for the Battler of Montrose
|
||
|
|
And the Diamond, ship of fame
|
||
|
|
We wear the trousers o' the white
|
||
|
|
The jackets o' the blue
|
||
|
|
When we get back to Peterhead
|
||
|
|
We'll hae sweethearts enou'
|
||
|

\beginverse
|
||
|
|
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"
