Irish traditional song lyrics — collected by Beer Belly Band.
Fare thee well my lovely Dinah, a thousand times adieu
We’re goin’ away from the Holy ground and the girls we all love true
We will sail the South Seas over and we’ll return for more
To see again the girls we love and the Holy ground once more
Chorus:
Fine girl you are! You’re the girl I do adore
And I live in hopes to see the Holy Ground once more
Fine girl you are!
I see the storm a rising, I see it coming soon
And the sky it is so cloudy, you can scarcely see the moon
And the good oul’ ship it is tossing about the rigging is all tore
And still I live in hopes to see the Holy ground once more
Chorus
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 make the rafters roar
And when our money is all spent, we’ll go to town once
Chorus
