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

Cap-tain Thom-son gives the or-der
-8 -8 -8 -6* 7* -7
To sail the o-cean wide

Where the sun it nev-er sets, my lad,

No dark-ness dims the sky

So it’s cheer up my lads

Let your hearts nev-er fail

While the bon-nie ship The Dia-mond

Goes a fish-ing for the whale
