Dm
The Diamond is a ship me lads,,
Am
For the Davis Strait she's bound,,
Dm Am
And the quay it is all garnished
F C Dm
With the bonnie lassies round!
Dm
Captain Thompson gives the orders
Am
To sail the ocean wide
Dm Am
Where the sun it never sets me lads
F C Dm
Nor darkness dims the sky!
[Chorus]~
Dm
And it's cheer up,, me lads,,
Dm Bb
Let your hearts never fail,,
Dm Am
The bonnie ship the Diamond
F C Dm
Goes a-fishing for the whale!
[Interlude]~
Dm C Bb Am
Dm Am C Dm
[Verse]~
Dm
Along the quay at Peterhead
Am
The lassies gather 'round
Dm Am
Wi' their shawls all pulled about them
F C Dm
And the salt tears runnin' down!
Dm
Now,, don't you cry,, my bonnie lass,,
Am
Though you be left behind
Dm Am
For the rose will grow on Greenland's ice
F C Dm
Before I'll change my mind!
[Chorus]~
Dm
And it's cheer up,, me lads,,
Dm Bb
Let your hearts never fail,,
Dm Am
The bonnie ship the Diamond
F C Dm
Goes a-fishing for the whale!
[Interlude]~

Dm Am C Dm
[Verse]~
Dm
Here's a health to the Resolution,,
Am
Likewise the Eliza Swan,,
Dm Am
Here's a health to the Battler of Montrose
F C Dm
And the Diamond ship of fame!
Dm
We wear the trousers of the white
Am
And the jackets of the blue,,
Dm Am
When we return to Peterhead
F C Dm
We'll hae sweethearts enoo!
[Chorus]~
Dm
And it's cheer up,, me lads,,

[Verse]~
Dm
It'll be bright both day and night
Am
When the Greenland lads return
Dm Am
With a ship that's full of oil,, me lads,,
F C Dm
And money's for to burn!
Dm
We'll make the cradles for to rock
Am
And the blankets for to tear
Dm Am
And every lass in Peterhead
F C Dm
Will sing hush-a-bye my dear!
