[00:10.273] for Greenland she is bound
[00:12.272]And the quay it is all garnished
[00:14.322]with bonny lassies 'round
[00:16.391]The captain gives the order to sail the ocean wide
[00:20.439]Where the sun it never sets my lads,

[00:24.438]So cheer up my lads let your hearts never fail
[00:28.622]While the bonnie ship,
[00:29.772]the Diamond goes fishin' for the whale
[00:40.169]Along the quay at Peterhead,
[00:42.086]the lassies stand around
[00:44.102]With their shawls about their heads
[00:46.235]and salt tears runnin' down
[00:48.235]I'll never weep my bonny lad though I'm left behind
[00:52.336]For there's not a rose on Greenland's ice
[00:54.402]to make you change your mind
[00:56.429]So cheer up my lads let your hearts never fail
[01:00.768]While the bonnie ship,

[01:12.498]Here's a health to the resolution likewise the Eliza Swan
[01:16.381]A health to the Battle of Montrose
[01:18.432]and the Diamond ship of fame
[01:20.408]They wear the trousers of the white the jackets of the blue
[01:24.465]When they return to Peterhead
[01:26.548]they'll find that we've been true
[01:28.531]So cheer up my lads let your hearts never fail
[01:32.581]While the bonnie ship,
[01:33.932]the Diamond goes fishin' for the whale
[01:43.998]It'll be bright both day and night
[01:46.015]when the Greenland lads come home
[01:47.998]With a ship that's full of oil my lads
[01:50.160] and money to their name
[01:52.048]They'll make the cradles for to rock
[01:54.298]and the blankets for to tear
[01:56.015]And every lass in Peterhead sing hush-a-bye my dear
[02:00.131]So cheer up my lads let your hearts never fail
[02:05.099]While the bonnie ship,
