fisherman's friends - the bonny ship the diamond lyrics

Loading...

‘the diamond’ is the ship, me boys
for the davis strait we’re bound
and the quay it is all garnished
with bonnie lasses ’round

captain thompson gives the orders
to sail the ocean wide
and we’re bound for the land where the sun don’t set
the darkness dims the skies

and it’s cheer up, me lads
let your hearts never fail
for the bonny ship the diamond’s gone a+fishin’ for the whale
and it’s cheer up, me lads
let your hearts never fail
for thе bonny ship the diamond’s gone a+fishin’ for the whalе

along the quay at peterhead
the lasses stand around
with their shawls all wrapped around them
and their salt tears runnin’ down

no, don’t you weep, my bonny lass
though you’ll be left behind
a rose will grow on greenland’s shore
before we’ll change our minds
and it’s cheer up, me lads
let your hearts never fail
for the bonny ship the diamond’s gone a+fishin’ for the whale
and it’s cheer up, me lads
let your hearts never fail
for the bonny ship the diamond’s gone a+fishin’ for the whale

here’s a+health to the resolution
likewise to the eliza swan
here’s a+health to the battle of montrose
and the diamond of our fame

we wears the trousers of the white
the jackets of the blue
and when we get home to peterhead
we’ll have sweethearts anew

and it’s cheer up, me lads
let your hearts never fail
for the bonny ship the diamond’s gone a+fishin’ for the whale
and it’s cheer up, me lads
let your hearts never fail
for the bonny ship the diamond’s gone a+fishin’ for the whale

it will be bright both day and night
when the whalin’ boys come home
with a ship that’s full of oil, me boys
and money to our name
we got the cradle for to rock
the blanket for to tear
when we get home to peterhead
it’s hush+a+bye my dear

and it’s cheer up, me lads
let your hearts never fail
for the bonny ship the diamond’s gone a+fishin’ for the whale
and it’s cheer up, me lads
let your hearts never fail
for the bonny ship the diamond’s gone a+fishin’ for the whale

hoy!
