Bonnie Ship the Diamond Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well, the bonnie ship was a good old ship
She was a-fishin' on a leading chain
And me an' John, oh was a long catch on
It was the last of the ones I've seen

[Chorus]
So with a sword and a rope in belt
Feel all that your heart be sailed
When that bonnie ship the Diamond goes
Fishin' for the whales

[Verse 2]
Well, we feud all night, the cabin gauge
It was a-more than feelin' bad
And with all kind friends we watched in fear
It was a naught time we ever had

[Chorus]
So it's rise up my lads
Let your hearts never fail
When that bonnie ship the Diamond goes
Fishin' for the whales

[Verse 3]
And all day long at Vera Cruz
We sailed all the [?] to bind
With no heavy moan, any hearts of stone
No aid was tried for mine

[Chorus]
So it's cheer up my boys
Let your hearts never fail
When that bonnie ship the Diamond goes
Fishin' for the whales

[Verse 4]
Well, now along cape Fate, 'twas lit in red
All along cape Horn
And from Vera Cruz we sailed ahead
It was all in the time of storm

[Chorus]
So, it's cheer on up my boys
Let your hearts never fail
When that bonnie ship the Diamond goes
Fishin' for the whales
