THE HOLY GROUND
(Galleon - Traditional)

1.
Farewell my lovely Dina, a thousand times adieu,
We are going away from the Holy Ground,
And the girls we all love true,
We will sail the salt seas over, and we'll return for sure,
To see again the girls we love and the Holy Ground once more.

Chorus
You're the girl I do adore, and still I live in hopes to see,
The Holy Ground once more.

2.
We are on the salt seas sailing, and you are safe behind,
Fond letters I will write to you, the secrets of my mind,
And the secrets of my mind my love, you're the girl I do adore,
And I still I live in hopes to see, the Holy Ground once more.

3.
I see a storm arising and it's coming quick and soon,
And the night so dark and cloudy I scarcely see the moon,
And the secrets of my mind my love, you're the girl I do adore,
And still I live in hopes to see, the Holy Ground once more.

4.
But now the storm is over and we are safe and well,
We will go into a public house and we'll sit and drink our fill,
We will drink strong ale and porter,
And we'll make the rafters roar,
And when our money it is all spent,
We will go to sea once more.
You're the girl I do adore, and still I live in hopes to see,
The Holy Ground once more.
