The Bonny Ship, The Diamond Lyrics by Beoga

Before We Change Our Mind

2016

[Verse 1]
The Diamond is a ship, me lads
From Greenland she is bound
And the quay it is all garnish-ed
With bonnie lassies 'round
Captain gives the orders
To sail the ocean wide
And the sun it never set, me lads
Or darkness fills the sky
[Chorus]
So cheer up my lads
Let your heart never fail
For the bonny ship, the Diamond
Go fishin' for the whale
[Verse 2]
Along the quay of Peterhead
The lassies stand around
With their shawls around their heads
And salt tears runnin' down
I'll never grieve my bonny lad
Although I'm left behind
For there's not a rose in Greenland's ice
To make you change your mind
[Chorus]
So cheer up my lads
Let your hearts never fail
For the bonny ship, the Diamond
Go fishin' for the whale
[Verse 3]
Here's a health to the Resolution
Likewise the Eliza Swan
Here's to the Battler of Montrose
And the Diamond, ship of fame
We'll wear the trousers of the white
Jackets of the blue
And when we return to Peterhead
We find that we've been true
[Chorus]
So cheer up my lads
Let your hearts never fail
For the bonny ship, the Diamond
Go fishin' for the whale
[Instrumental]
[Verse 4]
It will be bright both day and night
When the Greenland lads come home
With the ship all full of oil, me lads
And money to their name
We'll make the cradles for to rock
Blankets for to tear
And every lass in Peterhead
Sing: "Hushabye, my dear"
[Chorus]
So cheer up my lads
Let your hearts never fail
For the bonny ship, the Diamond
Go fishin' for the whale
So cheer up my lads
Let your hearts never fail
For the bonny ship, the Diamond
Go fishin' for the whale
