The Holy Ground

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Oh, Adieu to you my Dinah A thousand times adieu The good old ship is leaving Cobh And I am leaving too And the secret of my mind You're the one that I adore Still I live in hope to see The Holy Ground once more [Chorus] Fine girl you are! You're the girl I do adore And still I live in hope to see The Holy Ground once more Fine girl you are! [Verse 2] Oh, now we're soft sea sailing And we are far from Cobh The good old ship is a-tossing around The riggings are all torn And the secret of my mind You're the one that I adore Still I live in hope to see The Holy Ground once more [Chorus] Fine girl you are! You're the girl I do adore And still I live in hope to see The Holy Ground once more Fine girl you are! [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] Now the storm, it is over And we are safe in Cobh We will drink a health to The Holy Ground And the one we all adore And we'll drink strong ale and porter Fine girl you are! And make the taproom roar And when our money is all spent We'll go to sea for more [Chorus] Fine girl you are! You're the girl I do adore And still I live in hope to see The Holy Ground once more Fine girl you are
