The Holy Ground
Farewell, my lovely Dinah, a thousand times adieu
I'm going away from the holy ground and the ones that I love true
I'll sail the salt seas over and then return for sure
To see again the ones that I love and the holy ground once more
I'm on the salt sea sailing, and you are safe behind
Fond letters, I will write to you the secrets of my mind
And the secrets of my mind, my love, you're the one that I adore
And still I live in hopes that I'll see the holy ground once more
I see the storm arising, it's coming quick and soon
And the night's so dark and cloudy, you can scarcely see the moon
And the secrets of my mind, my love, you're the one that I adore
And still I live in hopes that I'll see the holy ground once more
But now the storms are over, and I am safe and well
We will go into a public house, and we'll sit and drink our fill
We'll drink strong ale and porter, and we'll make the rafters roar
And when our money, it is all spent, we'll go to sea once more
You're the one that I adore
And still I live in hopes that I'll see the holy ground once more
Fine girl you are
I'm going away from the holy ground and the ones that I love true
I'll sail the salt seas over and then return for sure
To see again the ones that I love and the holy ground once more
I'm on the salt sea sailing, and you are safe behind
Fond letters, I will write to you the secrets of my mind
And the secrets of my mind, my love, you're the one that I adore
And still I live in hopes that I'll see the holy ground once more
I see the storm arising, it's coming quick and soon
And the night's so dark and cloudy, you can scarcely see the moon
And the secrets of my mind, my love, you're the one that I adore
And still I live in hopes that I'll see the holy ground once more
But now the storms are over, and I am safe and well
We will go into a public house, and we'll sit and drink our fill
We'll drink strong ale and porter, and we'll make the rafters roar
And when our money, it is all spent, we'll go to sea once more
You're the one that I adore
And still I live in hopes that I'll see the holy ground once more
Fine girl you are
