Holy Ground

from Loose Cannons by The Jolly Rogers

/

lyrics

Fare thee well, my lovely Dinah,
A thousand times adieu.
We are going away from the Holy Ground,
and the girls that we love true.
We will sail the salt sea over,
and when we return to shore.
To see the girls that we once loved,
at The Holy Ground once more.
<Fine girl you are!>
You're the girl I adore.
And still I live in hopes to see,
the Holy Ground once more.
<Fine girl you are!>
Oh, now the storm is raging,
And we are far from shore;
And this good old ship is tossin’ about,
And the rigging is all tore.
And the secret of my mind, my love,
you’re the girl I do adore.
But still I live in hopes to see,
the Holy Ground once more.
<Fine girl you are!>
[CHORUS]
And now the storm is over,
And we are safe and well.
We will go into a public house,
And we'll sit and drink like hell.
We will drink strong ale and porter,
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 I adore.
And still I live in hopes to see,
the Holy Ground once more.
<Fine girl you are!>
