The Mary Wallopers
The Holy Ground
[Verse 1]
Oh, Adieu to you my Dinah
A thousand times adieu
The good old ship is leaving cove
And I am leaving too
And the secret of my mind
You're the one that I adore
Still I live in hope to see
The holy ground once more
[Chorus]
Fine girl you are
You're the girl I do adore
And still I live in hope to see
The holy ground once more
Fine girl you are
[Verse 2]
Oh, now we're soft sea sailing
And we are far from cove
The good old ship is a-tossing around
The riggings are all torn
And the secret of my mind
You're the one that I adore
Still I live in hope to see
The holy ground once more
[Chorus]
Fine girl you are
You're the girl I do adore
And still I live in hope to see
The holy ground once more
Fine girl you are
[Verse 3]
Now the storm it is over
And we are safe in cove
We will drink a health to the holy ground
And we'll drink strong ale and porter
Fine girl you are
And make the taproom roar
And when our money is all spent
We'll go to sea for more
[Chorus]
Fine girl you are
You're the girl I do adore
And still I live in hope to see
The holy ground once more
Fine girl you are
