Fine girl you are! Fare thee well, my lovely Dinah, a thousand times adieu. We're going away from the Holy Ground and the girls that we 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. Chorus: Fine girl you are! You're the girl that I adore And still I live in hopes to see the Holy Ground once more. Fine girl you are! When we're out a sailin' and you are far behind, Fine letters will I write to you with the secrets of my mind. The secret of my mind, my love, you're the girl that I adore And still I live in hopes to see the Holy Ground once more. Chorus Now the storm is raging and we are far from shore. The poor old ship is tossin' about and the rigging is all tore. Well, the night is dark and dreary and the rain chills to our core And we pray to God that we will see the Holy Ground once more. 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. (LIKE HELL!) We will drink strong ale and porter and make the rafters roar And when our money is all spent, we'll go to sea once more. Fine girl you are! You're the girl that I adore And still I live in hopes to see the Holy Ground once more. You're the girl that I adore And still I live in hopes to see the Holy Ground once more. Fine girl you are!
