The Holy Ground

Holy Ground - The Clancy Brothers/Tommy Makem

Fare thee well my lovely Dinah a thousand times adieu

We are bound away from the holy ground and the girls we all love true

We will sail the salt seas over

And we'll return for shore

To see again the girls we love

And the holy ground once more

Fine girl you are

You're the girl that I adore

And still I live in hope 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 tossing about

And the rigging is all tore

And the secret of my mind my love

You're the girl that I adore

And still I live in hope to see

The holy ground once more

Fine girl you are

You're the girl that I adore

And still I live in hope 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 sit and drink our bill

We will drink strong ale and porter

And we'll make the rafters roar

And when our money is all spent

We will go to sea once more

Fine girl you are

You're the girl that I adore

And still I live in hope to see

The holy ground once more

Fine girl you are
