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 love true
We will sail the south seas and we’ll return for shore
And when our money is all spent we will go to sea once more.
Fine Girl You Are
And now the storm is raging, and we are far from land
And the good ole ship is tossing about, and the rigging is all torn
And the secret on my life my love, is yor the girl I do adore.
And still I live in hope to see the Holy Ground once more.
Fine Girl You Are
And now the storm is over and we are safe and well
We will go into a Public house and we’ll sit and drink our fill.
We will 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
Yor the girl I do adore and still I live in hope to see the Holy Ground once more.
Fine Girl You Are
