1. 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 we'll return for sure, To see again the girls we love, And the holy ground once more! Refrain: Fine girl you are! You're the girl I do adore! And still I live in hopes to see The holy ground once more Fine girl you are!

2. And now the storm is raging And we are far from shore The poor old ship is tossing about And the rigging is all torn And the secret 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! 3. And now the storm is over And we are safe and well We'll go into a public house And sit and drink our fill 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!
