Tommy Makem The Holy Ground
Fare thee well my lovely Dinah, a thousand times adieu
For we're going away from the Holy Ground and the girls
we all loved true
And we'll sail the salt sea over, but we'll return for
sure
To greet again the girls we loved, on the Holy Ground
once more (fine girl you are)
Chorus:
You're the girl I do adore and still I live in hopes to
see
The Holy Ground once more (fine girl you are)
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 of my mind, I think you're the girl I do
adore
For soon we 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'll go into a public house and we'll sit and drink like
hell
We'll drink strong ale and porter and we'll make the
rafters roar
And when our money is all spent, we'll go to sea once
more (fine girl you are)
Chorus
