Текст песни: Bonnie Ship the Diamond + перевод

The Diamond is a ship me lads

For the Davis Straits she’s bound

And the Quay it is all garnished

With bonnie lassies round

Captain Thompson gives the order

To sail the ocean wide

Where the sun it never sets me lads

Nor darkness dims the sky

Chorus:

And it’s cheer up, me lads

Let your hearts never fail

For the bonnie ship The Diamond

Goes a-fishing for the whale

Along the quay at Peterhead

The lassies stand around

Wi' their shawls all pulled about them

And the salt tears runnin' down

Oh don’t you weep, my bonnie lass

Though you be left behind

For the rose will grow on Greenland’s ice

Before we change our mind

Here’s a health to The Resolution

Likewise the Eliza Swan

Here’s a health to the Battler of Montrose

And The Diamond ship of fmae

We wear the trousers of the white

And the jackets of the blue

When we return to Peterhead

We’ll hae sweethearts anoo
