The Holy Ground

Oh, adieu to you, my Dinah

A thousand times adieu

The good old ship is leaving cove

And I am leaving too

And the secret of my mind

You're the one that I adore

Still, I live in hope to see

The holy ground once more

Fine girl you are

You're the girl I do adore

And still, I live in hope to see

The holy ground once more

Fine girl you are

Oh, now we're soft sea sailing

And we are far from cove

The good old ship is tossing around

The riggings are all torn

And the secret of my mind

You're the one that I adore

Still, I live in hope to see

The holy ground once more

Fine girl you are

You're the girl I do adore

And still, I live in hope to see

The holy ground once more

Fine girl you are

Now the storm, it is over

And we are safe in cove

We will drink a health to the holy ground

And the one we all adore

And we'll drink strong ale and porter

Fine girl you are

And make the taproom 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 hope to see

The holy ground once more

Fine girl you are
