H oly 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
