The Dia-mond is a ship, my lads,
-8 -8 -8 -8 -6* 7* -7
For the Da-vis Strait she’s bound
-8 -8 -8 -8 -6* 7* -7 7* -6*
And the quay it is all gar-nish-ed
-5 6 -6* 6 -5 5* -4
With bon-nie las-ses round
-8 -8 -8 -8 -6* 7* -77*-6*
Cap-tain Thom-son gives the or-der
-8 -8 -8 -6* 7* -7
To sail the o-cean wide
-8 -8 -8 -8 -6* 7* -7 7* -6*
Where the sun it nev-er sets, my lad,
-5 6 -6* 6 -5 5* -4
No dark-ness dims the sky
-4 5* -5 5* 5* -4
So it’s cheer up my lads
-6* 7* -8 -6* 7* -8
Let your hearts nev-er fail
-6* 7* -8 -6* -7 7* -6* -4
While the bon-nie ship The Dia-mond
4* -4 -4 -4 4* -3 -4
Goes a fish-ing for the whale
