Am 
The Diamond
is a ship,
Em 
me lad s,
Am 
for the day of a strait she's bound.
And the key, it is all garnished
G 
Am 
with bonnie lassies round.
Captain Thompson gives the orders
Em 
to sail the ocean wide.
Am 
Em 
Where the sun it never sets,
G 
C 
Am 
me lads, nor darkness dims the tides.
And it's cheer up me lads,
let your hearts never fail
Em 
For the bonnie ship the diamond goes
Am 
G 
Am 
a -fishin' for the whale
All along the quay at Peterhead,
lassies stand around
With their shawls all pulled about them,
G 
Am 
and their saltiers runnin' down
Now don't you weep my bonnie lass,
but you be left behind
For the rose will grow on
G 
Greenland's ice
C 
Am 
Before we change our minds
And it's cheer up, my lads
Let your hearts never fail
G 
For the bonnie ship, the diamond goes
C

Em 
Here's a help to the resolution
Am 
Likewise the Eliza Swan
Em 
Am 
Here's a help to the battle
Em 
of Montrose
Am 
And the diamond ship of fame
We'll wear the trousers of the white,
and jackets of the blue.
When we get home to Peterhead,
G 
Am 
we'll have sweethearts anew.
And it's cheer up me lads,
let your hearts never fail.
For the bonnie ship the diamond goes,
G 
Am 
we're fishing for the whale.
Well it'll be bright both
Em 
Am 
day and night,
Em 
when the Greenland lads come home.
Am 
Em 
With a ship that's full of oil
Am 
G 
Am 
and money to our name
Em 
Am 
We'll make them cradles for to rock
and blankets for to tear
And every lass in Peterhead
G 
C 
Am 
sings ushabye my dear
And it's cheer up me lads,
let your hearts never fail
For the bonnie ship, the diamond goes
G 
Am 
a -fishin' for the whale
And it's cheer up me lads,
Am 
let your hearts never fail
C 
For the bonnie ship
Am 
the diamond goes a -fishin' for the whale
