Fine girl you are!

Fare thee well, my lovely Dinah, a thousand times adieu
We're going 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

Chorus:
Fine girl you are!
You're the girl that I adore
And still I live in hopes to see the Holy Ground once more
Fine girl you are!

When we're out a sailin' and you are far behind
Fine letters will I write to you with the secrets of my mind
The secret of my mind, my love, you're the girl that I adore
And still I live in hopes to see the Holy Ground once more

Chorus

Now the storm is raging and we are far from shore
The poor old ship is tossin' about and the rigging is all tore
Well, the night is dark and dreary and the rain chills to our core
And we pray to God that we will see the Holy Ground once more

Chorus
And now the storm is over and we are safe and well
We'll go into a public house and we'll sit and drink like hell. (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!
You're the girl that I adore
And still I live in hopes to see the Holy Ground once more

You're the girl that I adore
And still I live in hopes to see the Holy Ground once more
Fine girl you are!
