The Holy Ground (Live)

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

Fine girl you are the girl I do adore
And still I live in hopes to see
The holy ground once more, fine girl 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

Fine girl you are, you're the girl I do adore
And still I live in hopes to see
The holy ground once more, fine girl you are

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

Fine girl you are the girl I do adore
And still I live in hopes to see
The holy ground once more, fine girl you are
