Bonnie Ship The Diamond
Ton : AEnglish
Couplet
The AmDiamond is a Emship my lads
For the AmDavies Straits we are Embound
The Amquay it is all Emgarnish-ed with Cbonnie Glassies Amround
Captain AmThompson gives the Emorder to Amsail the ocean Emwide
For the Amsun that never Emsets my lads
Nor Cdarkness Gdims the Amsky
Refrain
For it's Amcheer up my lads let your hearts never fail
For the Cbonnie ship the EmDiamond goes a Chunting Gfor a Amwhale
Couplet
AmAlong the quay at EmPeterheid the Amlassies stand Emaroon
AmPullover pulled Emaboot them and the Csalt-tears Grunnin' Amdoon
AmDon't you weep my Embonnie wee lass though Amyou be left Embehind
For the Amrose will grow on EmGreenland's ice
CBefore we Gchange oor Amminds
Couplet
Here's a health tae the Resolution, likewise the Eliza Swan
Three cheers for the Battler o Montrose
And the Diamond, ship of fame
Couplet
We wear the troosers o the white & the jackets o the blue
When we get back tae Peterheid, we'll hae sweethearts anew
It will be bright by day and night
When the Greenland lads come hame
Couplet
Oor ship filled up wi oil my lads and money tae oor name
We'll make the cradles for tae rock
And the blankets for tae tear
And every lass in Peterheid sing hush-a-bye, my dear
