Bonnie Ship The Diamond
Fiddler's Green - Bonnie Ship The DiamondThe Diamond is a ship me ladsFor the Davis Straits she's boundAnd the Quay it is all garnishedWith bonnie lassies roundCaptain Thompson gives the orderTo sail the ocean wideWhere the sun it never sets me ladsNor darkness dims the skyChorus:And it's cheer up, me ladsLet your hearts never failFor the bonnie ship The DiamondGoes a-fishing for the whaleAlong the quay at PeterheadThe lassies stand aroundWi' their shawls all pulled about themAnd the salt tears runnin' downOh don't you weep, my bonnie lassThough you be left behindFor the rose will grow on Greenland's iceBefore we change our mindSongtexteHere's a health to The ResolutionLikewise the Eliza SwanHere's a health to the Battler of MontroseAnd The Diamond ship of fmaeWe wear the trousers of the whiteAnd the jackets of the blueWhen we return to PeterheadWe'll hae sweethearts anoo Aus Songtexte Mania
