Текст песни: The Holy Ground + перевод

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

And still I live in hope to see

The Holy Ground once more

You’re the girl that I adore

And still I live in hope to see

The Holy Ground once more

Now when we’re out a-sailing

And you are far behind

Fine letters will I write to you

With the secrets of my mind

The secrets of my mind, my girl

You’re the girl that I adore

And still I live in hope to see

The Holy Ground once more

Oh now the storm is raging

And we are far from shore;

The poor old ship she’s sinking fast

And the riggings they are tore

The night is dark and dreary

We can scarcely see the moon

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 into a public house

And we’ll 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
