storm weather shanty choir - the bonnie ship the diamond (live) lyrics

Loading...

and it’s cheer up me lads!
let your hearts never fail!
for the bonnie ship the diamond
goes a-fishing for the whale!

oh, the diamond is a ship me lads
for the davis strait she’s bound
and the quay it is all garnished
with bonnie l-sses ‘round
captain thompson gives the order
to sail the ocean wide
where the sun it never sets, me lads
nor darkness dims the sky

and it’s cheer up me lads!
let your hearts never fail!
for the bonnie ship the diamond
goes a-fishing for the whale!

oh, along the quay at peterhead
them l-sses stand around
with their shawls all pulled about them
and their salt tears runnin’ down
oh, don’t you weep me bonnie l-ss!
though you’ve been left behind
for the rose will grow on greenland’s ice
before we change our mind!

and it’s cheer up me lads!
let your hearts never fail!
for the bonnie ship the diamond
goes a-fishing for the whale!

(ein, to, tre!)
oh, here’s a health to the resolution!
likewise the eliza swan
here’s a health for the battle of montrose
and the diamond, ship of fame!
oh, we wear the trousers of the white!
and the jackets of the blue
when we return to peterhead
we’ll have sweethearts enou’

and it’s cheer up me lads!
let your hearts never fail!
for the bonnie ship the diamond
goes a-fishing for the whale!

oh, it will be bright both day and night
when the greenland lads come hame
with a ship that’s full of oil me lads
and money to our name
oh, we’ll make them cradles for to rock
and the blankets for to tear
and every l-ss in peterhead sing:
hushabye my dear!

and it’s cheer up me lads!
let your hearts never fail!
for the bonnie ship the diamond
goes a-fishing for the whale!

and it’s cheer up me lads!
let your hearts never fail!
for the bonnie ship the diamond
goes a-fishing for the whale!
