Lyrics:

Well, the bonnie ship was a good old ship
She was a-fishing on a leading chain
And me and Jean, oh was a long catch out
It was the last of the ones I've seen
So with sword and a rope in belt
Feel all that your heart be sailed
When that bonnie ship, the Diamond
Goes fishing for the whales
Well, we feud all night, the cabin gauge
She was more than feeling bad
And with all kind of friends we watched in fear
And was a naught time we ever had
So it's rise up my lads
Let your hearts never fail
When that bonnie ship, the Diamond
Goes fishing for the whales

And all day long at Vera Cruz
We sailed, all the lives to bind
With no heavy moan, any hearts of stone
No aid was tried for mine
So it's cheer up my boys
Let your hearts never fail
When that bonnie ship, the Diamond
Goes fishing for the whales

Well, now along cape Fate, it was lit in red
All along cape Horn
And from Vera Cruz we sailed ahead
It was all in the time of storm
So, it's cheer on up my boys
Let your hearts never fail
When that bonnie ship, the Diamond
Goes fishing for the whales
