Fare thee well to you my Dinah
A thousand times adieu
For we're going away from the Holy Ground
And the girls we love so true
We will sail the salt seas over
And then return to shore
To see again the girls we love
And the Holy Ground once more
Fine girl you are
You're the girl I do adore
And still I live in hope to see
The Holy Ground once more
And now the storm is raging
And we are far from the shore
And the good 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 we live in hope to see
The Holy Ground once more
Fine girl you are
You're the girl I do adore
And 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 our fill
We'll 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 I do adore
And still I live in hope to see
The Holy Ground once more
