Lyrics

And still I live in hope to see the holy ground once more
(Shouted) fine girl you are!

Fare thee well, my lovely dinah, a thousand times adieu
For we're going away from the holy ground and the girls we love so true
And we'll sail the salt seas over and we'll return for sure
To see again the girls we love and the holy ground once more

(Shouted) fine girl you are!
(Sung) you're the girl I adore
And still I live in hope to see the holy ground once more
(Shouted) fine girl you are!

And now the storm is raging and we are far from shore;
And the poor old ship is tossin' about and the rigging is all tore
And the secrets of my mind, my love, 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 and well
And we'll go into a public house and we'll sit and drink like hell!
And 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
