No aid was cried tried for mine.
So it's cheer up

Let your hearts never fail
When that bonnie ship the Diamond
Goes fishin' for the whales.
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.
So, it's cheer on
up my boys
Let your hearts never fail
When that bonnie ship the Diamond
Goes fishin' for the whales.
