jimmy aldridge and sid goldsmith - the bonnie ship the diamond lyrics

[verse 1]
the diamond is a ship me lads to the davis straits abound
the quay it as all garnished with bonny lassies ’round
captain gives the orders to sail the ocean wide
the sun it never sets me lads, no darkness dims the skies

[chorus]
and it’s cheer up, me lads, let your hearts never fail
for the bonny ship the diamond goes a+fishing for the whale
and it’s cheer up, me lads, let your hearts never fail
the bonny ship the diamond goes a+fishing for the whale
[verse 2]
along the quay at peterhead the lassies stand around
with their shawls all pulled around them and salt tears running down
don’t you weep, my bonny wee lass, though you’ll be left behind
for the rose will grow on greenland’s ice before we change our mind

[verse 3]
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 of the white and the jackets of the blue
and when we get back to peterhead we’ll have sweethearts anew

[verse 4]
be bright both day and night when the greenland lads come home
a ship full up with oil me lads, and money to our name
we will make the cradles for to rock and the blankets for to tear
and every lass in peterhead sing “hushabye, my dear”
[chorus]
and it’s cheer up, me lads, let your hearts never fail
for the bonny ship the diamond goes a+fishing for the whale
and it’s cheer up, me lads, let your hearts never fail
the bonny ship the diamond goes a+fishing for the whale

[outro]
and it’s cheer up, me lads, let your hearts never fail
for the bonny ship the diamond goes a+fishing for the whale
and it’s cheer up, me lads, let your hearts never fail
the bonny ship the diamond goes a+fishing for the whale
