storm weather shanty choir - the bonnie ship the diamond lyrics

Loading...

the bonnie is a ship, me lads
for the davis strait she’s bound
and 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, 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

along the quay at peterhead
them lasses stand around
with their shawls all pulled about them
and the salt tears running down
oh, don’t you weep, me bonnie lass
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
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 lass 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
