The Holy Ground

1. Fare thee well my lovely Dinah,

A thousand times adieu

For we're going away from the Holy Ground,

And the girls we all love true

We will sail the salt seas over,

And then return for shore

To see again the girls we love,

And the holy Ground once more

FINE GIRL YOU ARE

You're the girl that I adore,

But still I live in hope to see

The holy Ground once more

2. 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 ofmy life, my love,

You're the girl that I adore

But still I live in hope to see,

Holy Ground once more

FINE GIRL YOU ARE

You're the girl that I adore,

But still I live in hope to see

The holy Ground once more

3. And now the storm is over,

And we are safe and well

We will go down to a public house,

And sit and drink like hell

We will drink strong ale and porter,

And we'll make the rafters roar

And when our money is all spent,

We will go to sea once more

FINE GIRL YOU ARE

You're the girl that I adore,

But still I live in hope to see

The holy Ground once more, FINE GIRL YOU ARE
