Fare thee well, my lovely Dinah,
A thousand times adieu
We are bound away from the Holy Ground
And the girls we love so true.
We'll sail the salt seas over
And we'll return once more
And still I live in hope to see
The Holy Ground once more
You're the girl I do adore
And still I live in hope to see
The Holy Ground once more/
Now when we're out asailing
And you are far behind
Fine letters I will write to you
With the secrets of my mind
The secrets of my mind, my girl
You're the girl I do adore
And still I live in hope to see
The Holy Ground once more
You're the girl I do adore
And still I live in hope to see
The Holy Ground once more/
Oh now the storm is raging
And we are far from shore
The poor old ship she is sinking fast
And the riggings they are tore
The night is dark and dreary
We can scarcely see the moon
But still I live in hope to see
The Holy Ground once more
You're the girl I do adore
And still I live in hope to see
The Holy Ground once more/
And now the storm is over
And we are safe on shore
We'll drink a toast to the Holy Ground
And the girls that we adore
We'll drink strong ale and porter
And we'll make the taproom roar
And when our money is all spent
We'll go to sea once more
You're the girl I do adore
And still I live in hope to see
The Holy Ground once more./
