Lyrics
The Diamond is a ship, me boys,
for the Davis Straits we're bound
And the quay it is all garnished
with bonnie lasses 'round
Captain Thompson gives the orders
to sail the ocean wide
And we're bound for the land where the sun don't set,
nor darkness drear the sky
And it's cheer up me lads, let your hearts never fail
For the bonny ship the Diamond's gone
a-fishing for the whale
And it's cheer up me lads, let your hearts never fail
For the bonny ship the Diamond's gone
a-fishing for the whale
Along the quay at Peterhead, the lasses stand around
Wi' their shawls all wrapped about them
And the salt tears runnin' down
Now don't you weep, my bonny lass,
though you'll be left behind
The rose will grow on Greenland's shore
before we'll change our mind
And it's cheer up me lads, let your hearts never fail
For the bonny ship the Diamond's gone
a-fishing for the whale
For it's cheer up me lads, let your hearts never fail
For the bonny ship the Diamond's gone
a-fishing for the whale
Here's a health to the Resolution, likewise the Eliza Swan
Here's a health to the Battler of Montrose and the
Diamond, of a fame
We wear the trousers of the white, the jackets of the blue
When we get home to Peterhead, we'll have sweethearts anew
And it's cheer up me lads, let your hearts never fail
For the bonny ship the Diamond's gone
a-fishing for the whale
And it's cheer up me lads, let your hearts never fail
For the bonny ship the Diamond's gone
a-fishing for the whale
It will be bright both day and night when the whaling boys come home
With a ship that's full with oil, me boys, and money to our name
We got the cradles for to rock and the blankets for to tear
When we get home to Peterhead its: "Hushabye, my dear"
And it's cheer up me lads, let your hearts never fail
For the bonny ship the Diamond's gone 
a-fishing for the whale
And it's cheer up me lads, let your hearts never fail
For the bonny ship the Diamond's gone
a-fishing for the whale
Hey!
