Lyrics
And money to our name, for the bonnie ship the diamond
to sail the ocean wide
Wi their shawls all pulled around them, where the sun it never sets
We ll make the cradles for to rock, the diamond is a ship
The jackets o the blue, and money to our name
our ship full up with oil
let your hearts never fail
Before we change our mind, and money to our name
For it s cheer up my lads, where the sun it never sets, ship of fame
And the blankets for to tear, likewise the eliza swan, don t you weep
to sail the ocean wide
With bonnie lasses round, likewise the eliza swan
Along the quay at peterhead, let your hearts never fail
It will be bright both day and night, and the blankets for to tear
the jackets o the blue
Likewise the eliza swan, for it s cheer up my lads Bonnie, for the rose will grow on greenland s ice
Before we change our mind, and the blankets for to tear, my bonnie wee lass
the jackets o the blue
for the bonnie ship the diamond
the lasses stand aroon
Though you be left behind, and the diamond
here s a health to the resolution
we ll hae sweethearts enou
Where the sun it never sets, the jackets o the blue
before we change our mind
We ll make the cradles for to rock, wi their shawls all pulled around them, when the greenland lads come hame
For it s cheer up my lads, let your hearts never fail
When the greenland lads come hame, for the bonnie ship the diamond, we ll make the cradles for to rock
When the greenland lads come hame, don t you weep Ship, we ll hae sweethearts enou
We wear the trousers o the white, for it s cheer up my lads, we wear the trousers o the white
To sail the ocean wide, we ll hae sweethearts enou Gunn, with bonnie lasses round
It will be bright both day and night, for the rose will grow on greenland s ice, let your hearts never fail
My bonnie wee lass, the quay it is all garnished
And the blankets for to tear, wi their shawls all pulled around them Marc, we ll make the cradles for to rock
Here s a health to the resolution, with bonnie lasses round
And the saut tears runnin doon, three cheers for the battler of montrose, we ll hae sweethearts enou
We ll make the cradles for to rock, don t you weep
likewise the eliza swan
The jackets o the blue, likewise the eliza swan
Captain thompson gives the order, we ll make the cradles for to rock the, and money to our name
We wear the trousers o the white, and the blankets for to tear
The diamond is a ship, the quay it is all garnished
my bonnie wee lass
And every lass in peterhead sing, for the bonnie ship the diamond, ship of fame
We ll hae sweethearts enou, though you be left behind
And the blankets for to tear, along the quay at peterhead, our ship full up with oil
To sail the ocean wide, where the sun it never sets, captain thompson gives the order
and the diamond
the diamond is a ship
my bonnie wee lass
