Interpretacja:

[Verse 1]
The Diamond is a ship, me lads, for the Davis Strait we’re bound
The quay it is all garnished with bonnie lasses ’round;
Captain Thompson gives the orders to sail the ocean wide
O and the sun it never sets, me lads, nor darkness dims the sky

[Chorus]
For it’s cheer up me lads, let your hearts never fail
For the bonny ship, the Diamond, goes a-fishing for the whale
For it’s cheer up me lads, let your hearts never fail
For the bonny ship, the Diamond, goes a-fishing for the whale

[Verse 2]
Along the quay of Peterhead, the lasses stand around
With shawls all pulled around them and their salt tears runnin’ down;
Well don’t you weep, my bonny lass, though you’ll be left behind
For the rose will bloom on Greenland’s ice before we change our mind

[Verse 3]
Here’s a health to the Resolution, likewise the Eliza Swan
Three cheers for the Battler of Montrose and the Diamond, ship of fame;
We wear the trousers of the white and jackets of the blue
When we get back to Peterhead, we’ll have sweethearts anew

[Verse 4]
It will be bright both day and night when Greenland lads come hame
Our ship full up with oil, me lads, and money to our name;
We’ll make the cradles for to rock and the blankets for to tear
And every lass in Peterhead sing: „Hushabye, my dear”

For it’s cheer up me lads, let your hearts never fail
For the bonny ship, the Diamond, goes a-fishing for the whale
For it’s cheer up me lads, let your hearts never fail
For the bonny ship, the Diamond, goes a-fishing for the whale
