Correction Lyrics Bonny Ship the Diamond by The Longest Johns

Back

Lyrics

The Diamond is a ship, me lads, for the Davis Strait we're bound
The quay it is all garnished with bonnie lasses 'round;
Captain Thompson gives the orders to sail the ocean wide
O and the sun it never sets, me lads, nor darkness dims the sky

For it's cheer up me lads, let your hearts never fail
For the bonny ship, the Diamond, goes a-fishing for the whale
For it's cheer up me lads, let your hearts never fail
For the bonny ship, the Diamond, goes a-fishing for the whale

Along the quay of Peterhead, the lasses stand around
With shawls all pulled around them and their salt tears runnin' down;
Well don't you weep, my bonny lass, though you'll be left behind
For the rose will bloom on Greenland's ice before we change our mind

Here's a health to the Resolution, likewise the Eliza Swan
Three cheers for the Battler of Montrose and the Diamond, ship of fame;
We wear the trousers of the white and jackets of the blue
When we get back to Peterhead, we'll have sweethearts anew
