THE HOLY GROUND

Fare thee well my lovely Dinah, a thousand times adieu

For we're going away from the Holy Ground and the girls we all loved true

And we'll sail the salt sea over, but we'll return for sure

To greet again the girls we loved, on the Holy Ground once more (fine girl you are)

Chorus:

You're the girl I do adore and still I live in hopes to see

The Holy Ground once more (fine girl you are)

And now the storm is raging and we are far from shore

And the good old ship is tossing about and the rigging is all tore

And the secret of my mind, I think you're the girl I do adore

For soon we live in hopes to see the Holy Ground once more (fine girl you are)

Chorus

And now the storm is over and we are safe and well

We'll go into a public house and we'll sit and drink like hell

We'll drink strong ale and porter and we'll make the rafters roar

And when our money is all spent, we'll go to sea once more (fine girl you are)

Chorus
