The [Dm]Diamond is a [C]ship my lads for th[Dm]e Davies strai[C]t she`s bound
An the [Dm]key it is all[C] garnished with [F#m]barnie l[Em]ashes r[Dm]ound
Captain T[Dm]ompson gives the [C]order to [Dm]sail the ocean [C]wide
Were the [Dm]sun it never[C] sets my lad[F#m]s nor d[Em]arknes d[Dm]ims the sky

And its [F#m]cheer [Em]up my [Dm]lads, Let your hart never fail
For the Bonnie ship the [C]Diamond [Dm]goes a[G]fishing for the [Dm]whale

Oh along the key at Peterhead then Lashies stand around
With the shoals all pulled about them and their shoulders running down
Oh don’t you weep my bonnie lass or you`ll be left behind
For the rose will grow on Greenlands ice before we change our mind

And its [F#m]cheer [Em]up my [Dm]lads, Let your hart never fail
For the Bonnie ship the [C]Diamond [Dm]goes a[G]fishing for the [Dm]whale


(MELL0MSPEL: VERS OG REF.)
With a helm to the Resolution likewise to Elisa Swan
Theres a helm to the Banner and one to Rose and the Diamond ship of fame
Oh we wear the trouses of the white and the jackets of the blue
When we return to Peterhead we`ll Have sweethearts enough`

And its [F#m]cheer [Em]up my [Dm]lads, Let your hart never fail
For the Bonnie ship the [C]Diamond [Dm]goes a[G]fishing for the [Dm]whale


Oh it will be bright both day and night when the greenlads lets come heim
With a ship that’s full of oil my lads and money to our name
Oh we wake them cradels for to rock and the blankets for to tear
And every lass in Peterhead say “hush you`ll be my dear”!

And its [F#m]cheer [Em]up my [Dm]lads, Let your hart never fail
For the Bonnie ship the [C]Diamond [Dm]goes a[G]fishing for the [Dm]whale

And its [F#m]cheer [Em]up my [Dm]lads, Let your hart never fail
For the Bonnie ship the [C]Diamond [Dm]goes a[G]fishing for the [Dm]whale
