Holy Ground Songtext

von The Dubliners

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 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
