THE DIAMOND IS A SHIP MY LADS
FOR THE DAVIES STRAITS WE ARE BOUND
THE QUAY IT IS ALL GARNISH-ED WITH BONNIE LASSIES ROUND
CAPTAIN THOMPSON GIVES THE ORDER TO SAIL THE OCEAN WIDE
FOR THE SUN THAT NEVER SETS MY LADS
NOR DARKNESS DIMS THE SKY
FOR ITS CHEER UP MY LADS LET YOUR HEARTS NEVER FAIL
FOR THE BONNIE SHIP THE DIAMOND GOES A HUNTING FOR A WHALE
ALONG THE QUAY AT PETERHEID THE LASSIES STAND AROON
PULLOVER PULLED ABOOT THEM AND THE SALT-TEARS RUNNIN DOON
DONT YOU WEEP MY BONNIE WEE LASS THOUGH YOU BE LEFT BEHIND
FOR THE ROSE WILL GROW ON GREENLANDS ICE
BEFORE WE CHANGE OOR MINDS
HERES A HEALTH TAE THE RESOLUTION, LIKEWISE THE ELIZA SWAN
THREE CHEERS FOR THE BATTLER O MONTROSE
AND THE DIAMOND, SHIP OF FAME
WE WEAR THE TROOSERS O THE WHITE & THE JACKETS O THE BLUE
WHEN WE GET GET TAE PETERHEID, WELL HAE SWEETHEARTS ANEW
IT WILL BE BRIGHT BY DAY AND NIGHT
WHEN THE GREENLAND LADS COME HAME
OOR SHIP FILLED UP WI OIL MY LADS AND MONEY TAE OOR NAME
WELL MAKE THE CRADLES FOR TAE ROCK
AND THE BLANKETS FOR TAE TEAR
AND EVERY LASS IN PETERHEID SING HUSH-A-BYE, MY DEAR
