The Holy Ground

The Holy Ground - Luke Kelly

Written by：Luke Kelly/Traditional/Ronald Joseph Drew/Dubliners The/Ciaran Padraig Maire Bourke/Barney Mckenna

I do to you my Dinah ten thousand times adieu

We're goin' away from the Holy Ground and the girls that we love true

We will sail the salt seas over and then return for shore

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

And now the storm is raging and we are far from shore

And the good old ship is tossin' about and the rigging is all tore

And the secrets of my mind my dear you're the girl I do adore

And still I live in hopes to see 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

And now the storm is over and we are safe and well

We will go into a public house and we'll sit and drink like hell

We will drink strong ale and porter and make the rafters roar

And when our money is all spent we'll go to sea once more

Fine girl you are

And girl I do adore

And still I live in hopes to see the Holy Ground once more

Fine girl you are
