[verse 1]
the diamond is a ship, me lads, for the davis strait she’s bound
and the quay it is all garnished wi’ bonnie lassies ’round
ca’n thompson gives the order to sail the ocean wide
where the sun it never sets, me lads, nor darkness brims the sky

[chorus: all]
and it’s cheer up me lads, let your hearts never fail!
for the bonnie ship the diamond goes a+fishin’ for the whale

[verse 2]
along the quays at peterhead, the lassies stand aroon
wi’ their shawls all pulled aboot thеm an’ the saut tears runnin’ doon
now don’t you weep, me bonniе lass, though ye be left behind
for the rose will bloom on greenland’s ice before we change our mind

[chorus: all]
and it’s cheer up me lads, let your hearts never fail!
for the bonnie ship the diamond goes a+fishin’ for the whale

[verse 3]
here’s a health to the resolution, likewise the eliza swan
here’s a health to the battle o’ the roman code[?] and the diamond, ship of fame
we wear the trousers o’ the white, and the jickets o’ the blue
when we return tae peterhead we’ll hae sweethearts enou’
[chorus: all]
and it’s cheer up me lads, let your hearts never fail!
for the bonnie ship the diamond goes a+fishin’ for the whale

[verse 4]
oh, it’ll be bright both day and night, when the greenland lands come hame
in a ship that full o’ oil, me boys, and money tae our name
we’ll mak’ the cradles for tae rock, and the blankets for to tear
and every lass in peterhead sing “hushabye, my bairn”

[chorus: all]
and it’s cheer up me lads, let your hearts never fail!
for the bonnie ship the diamond goes a+fishin’ for the whale

[chorus: all]
and it’s cheer up me lads, let your hearts never fail!
for the bonnie ship the diamond goes a+fishin’ for the whale
