• The Bonny Ship The Diamond

Oh, the Diamond is a ship, me lads, for the Davis Straits she bound
And the quay it is all garnished with bonny lassies round
Captain Thompson gives orders, to sail the ocean wide
Where the sun it never sets, me lads, nor darkness dims the sky

Chorus:
And it's cheer up, me lads, let your heart never fail
For the bonny ship the Diamond goes a huntin' for the whale

Along the quay at Peter Heid the lassies gather round
With the shawls all wrapped about them and the salt tears running down
Don't you weep, me bonny lads, though you'll be left behind
For rose will grow on Greenland's ice before we change our mind

Chorus:
And it's cheer up, me lads, let your heart never fail
For the bonny ship the Diamond goes a huntin' for the whale

Here's a health to the Constitution, likewise the Eliza Swan
Here's a health to the battler O' Montrose and the Diamond ship of fame
We'll trousers of the white and the jackets of the blue
When we return to Peter Heid with have sweethearts a new

Chorus:
And it's cheer up, me lads, let your heart never fail
For the bonny ship the Diamond goes a huntin' for the whale

It'll bright both day and night, when Greenland lads come home
With a ship that's full of oil, me lads, and money to our name
We'll make the cradles for to rock and the blankets for to tear
And every lass in Peter Heid, sez, ‘Hush a bye, me dear'

Chorus:
And it's cheer up, me lads, let your heart never fail
For the bonny ship the Diamond goes a huntin' for the whale
And it's cheer up, me lads, let your heart never fail
For the bonny ship the Diamond goes a huntin' for the whale
