the holy ground
Fine girl you are! Adieu to you my Dinah a thousand times adieu We`re going away from the Holy Ground and the girls that we love true We will sail the South sea over and then return for sure To see again the girls we love and the Holy Ground once more Chorus: Fine girl you are! Your`re the girl that I adore and still I live in hopes to see The Holy Ground once more. Fine girls you are! See the storm a-rising I see it coming soon, And the sky it is so cloudy you can scarcely see the moon. And the good old ship, she was tossing about, The riggin`was all tore, and still I live with hopes to see, The Holy ground once more. And now the storm it is over and we are safe on shore, We will drink a toast to the Holy Ground and the girls that we adore. We will drink strong ale and porter and make the rafters roar, And when our money is all spent we`ll go to sea for more.
