Mary Black - The Holy Ground (Trad) lyrics

Your rating:


Farewell my lovely Johnny,

a thousand times adieu

You are going away from the holy ground

And the ones that love you true

You will sail the salt seas over

And then return for sure

To see again the ones you love

And the holy ground once more



You're on the salt sea sailing

And I am safe behind

Fond letters I will write to you

The secrets of my mind

And the secrets of my mind, my love

You're the one that I adore

Still I live in hopes you'll see

The holy ground once more



I see the storm a risin'

And it's coming quick and soon

And the night's so dark and cloudy

You can scarcely see the moon

And the secrets of my mind, my love

You're the one that I adore 

And still I live in hopes you'll see

The holy ground once more



But now the storms are over

And you are safe and well

We will go into a public house

And we'll sit and drink our fill

We will drink strong ale and porter

And we'll make the rafters roar

And when our money it is all spent

You'll go to sea once more

You're the one that I adore

And still I live in hopes that you'll see

The holy ground once more
