Fare thee well my lovely Dinah, A thousand times adieu For we're going away from the Holy Ground, And the girls we all 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 fine girl you are You're the girl that I adore, But still I live in hope to see The holy Ground once more . 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 ofmy life, my love, You're the girl that I adore But still I live in hope to see, Holy Ground once more fine girl you are You're the girl that I adore, But still I live in hope to see The holy Ground once more . And now the storm is over, And we are safe and well We will go down to a public house, And sit and drink like hell 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, But still I live in hope to see The holy Ground once more, fine girl you are
