Holy Ground

Fine girl you are! Adieu to you my Dinah, ten thousand times adieu We're going away from the Holy Ground and the girls that we love true We will sail the salt sea 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 I do adore And still I live in hopes to see the Holy Ground once more Fine girl you are! And now a storm is raging, we are far from shore; The good old ship, is tossing about and rigging is all tore And the secrets of my mind, my dear, you're the girl I do adore And still I live in hopes to see the Holy Ground once more Fine girl you are! 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 over, we are safe and well; We'll go into a public house and we'll sit and drink like hell! We will drink strong ale and porter and make the rafters roar And when our money is all spent we'll go to sea for more Fine girl you are! You're the girl I do adore And still I live in hopes to see the Holy Ground once more Fine girl you are!
