The Holy
Ground
Author Unknown
Fair thee
well my lovely Dianah
A thousand times adieu
For we're goin' away from the Holy Ground
and the girls we all love true
We will sail the salt sea over
and we'll return for shore
To see again the girls we love
and the Holy Ground once more
Fine girls you are!
You're the
girl I do adore
And still I live in the hopes to see
The Holy Ground once more
Fine girl you are!
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 I do adore
And still I live in hopes to see
The Holy Ground once more
Fine girl you are!
You're the
girl I do adore
And still I live in the hopes to see
The Holy Ground once more
Fine girl you are!
And soon
the storm is over
And we are all well
We will go into a public house
and we'll sit and drink our fill
We will drink strong ale and porter
and we'll make the rafters roar
And when all of our money is all spent
We will go to sea once more
Fine girls you are!
You're the
girl I do adore
And still I live in the hopes to see
The Holy Ground once more
Fine girl you are!
