"The Holy Ground" lyrics

"The Holy Ground"

Oh, Adieu to you my Dinah
A thousand times adieu
The good old ship is leaving Cobh
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

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!

Oh, now we're soft sea sailing
And we are far from Cobh
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

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!

Now the storm, it is over
And we are safe in Cobh
We will drink a health to The Holy Ground
And the one we all adore
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

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
