The Diamond is a ship there, lads, for the Davies Strait she’s bound
And the quay it is all garnished with bonnie lassies ’round
Captain Thompson gives the orders to sail the ocean wide
Where sun it never sets, my lads and the darkness fills the skies
Oh, it’s cheer up me lads, let your hearts never fail
For the bonnie ship the Diamond goes a-fishin’ for the whale
Along the quay at Peterhead the lassies stand around
Wi’ the shawls all pulled around ’em and the salt is comin’ down
But don’t you weep, my bonnie wee lass, though you’ll be left behind
For the rose’ll bloom on Greenland’s ice before we change our mind
So it’s cheer up me lads, let your hearts never fail
For the bonnie ship the Diamond goes a-fishin’ for the whale
Here’s a health to the Resolution, likewise the Eliza Swan
Here’s a health to the Battle of Old Montrose and the Diamond, ship of fame
We’ll wear the trousers of the white and the jackets of the blue
And when we’ll return to Peterhead we’ll have sweethearts anew
So it’s cheer up me lads, let your hearts never fail
For the bonnie ship the Diamond goes a-fishin’ for the whale
Oh, it’ll be a bright wee day and night when the Greenland boys come hame
With a ship that’s full of oil, my lads, and money tae the name
We’ll make the cradles for to rock and the blankets for to tear
And every lad in Peterhead sing: “Hushabye, my dear”
So it’s cheer up me lads, let your hearts never fail
For the bonnie ship the Diamond goes a-fishin’ for the whale
So it’s cheer up me lads, let your hearts never fail
For the bonnie ship the Diamond goes a-fishin’ for the whale
