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
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 secrets of my mind my love you're the girl that I adore
And still I live in hopes to see the holy groud 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
Fine girl you are!
Now the storm is raging and we are far from shore
The poor old ship is tossing 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
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!
Now the storm is over and we are safe and well
We'll go into a public house and 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!
