Holy Ground

Fine girl you are\nFare thee well my lovely dinah\nA thousand times adieu\nFor we’re going away from the holy ground\nAnd the girls we all love true\nWe will sail the salt seas over\nAnd then return for shore\nTo see again the girls we love\nAnd the holy ground once more\nFine girl you are\nYou’re the girl that I adore\nBut still I live in hope to see\nThe holy ground once more\nAnd now the storm is raging\nAnd we are far from shore\nAnd the good old ship is tossing about\nAnd the rigging is all tore\nAnd the secret ofmy life, my love\nYou’re the girl that I adore\nBut still I live in hope to see\nHoly ground once more\nFine girl you are\nYou’re the girl that I adore\nBut still I live in hope to see\nThe holy ground once more\nAnd now the storm is over\nAnd we are safe and well\nWe will go down to a public house\nAnd sit and drink like hell\nWe will drink strong ale and porter\nAnd we’ll make the rafters roar\nAnd when our money is all spent\nWe will go to sea once more\nFine girl you are\nYou’re the girl that I adore\nBut still I live in hope to see\nThe holy ground once more, fine girl you are
