The first song of an epic night for us all!
I didn't think when I stepped onto the stage that evening that this would be a performance that we immortalized on CD, just goes to show you never know!

The Diamond
Roud nr 2172
(Trad arr. Pyrates!)
And it's cheer up, me lads
Let your hearts never fail,
For the bonnie ship The Diamond
Goes a-fishing for the whale!
The Diamond is a ship me lads, For the Davis Straits she's bound
And around the Quay at petershead the lassies stand around
Captain Gallows gives the orders to sail the ocean wide,
Where the sun it never sets, my lads, nor darkness dims the sky.
And it's cheer up, me lads
Let your hearts never fail,
For the bonnie ship The Diamond
Goes a-fishing for the whale!
All along the quay at Petershead, the lasses stand around,
Wi' their shawls all pulled about them and the salt tears running down,
Now don't you weep, my bonny lass, though you be left behind,
For the rose will grow on Greenland's ice before we change our mind.
Here's health to The Resolution, likewise The Eliza Swan,
Here's health to The Battler of Montrose and The Diamond, the ship of fame;
We wear the trousers of the white and the jackets of the blue,
When we return to Petershead we'll have sweethearts for you.
It'll be bright both day and night when the Greenland lads come home,
With a ship thats fu' o' oil, my 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"
