The Holy Ground

Fare thee well my lovely dar-ling a thousand times adieu
       |          |F         |    |G             |C       |        |G  |
We are saying goodbye to the Holy Ground and the girls we all love true
        |C       |G7       |C  |    |      |F      |C |G7
We will sail the salt seas over and then return to shore
    |F      |    C  |F    C  |       |    |G7         |C
And still I live in hopes to see the Holy Ground once more

And now the storm is coming, I see it rising soon
For the night is dark and dreary, you can scarcely see the moon
And the good old ship she is tossing about, and the rigging is all torn
But still I live in hope to see the Holy Ground once more

And now the storm is over, and we are safe on shore
And we’ll go into a public house to the girls we do adore
And we’ll drink strong ale and porter, and we’ll make the rafters roar
And when our money is all spent, we’ll go to sea once more
