Adieu to you my Dinah, ten thousand times adieu 
We’re going away from the Holy Ground and the girls that we love true 
We will sail the salt sea over and then return for sure 
To see again the girls we love and the Holy Ground once more 

Adieu to you my Dinah, ten thousand times adieu 
We’re going away from the Holy Ground and the girls that we love true 
We will sail the salt sea over and then return for sure 
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 
Fine girl you are! 

And now the storm is raging and we are far from shore 
The good old ship is tossing about and the riggin’ is all tore 

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 

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! 

And now the strom is over and we are safe and well 
We'll go into a Public House and we’ll sit and drink like hell, 
We will 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 

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! 

Fine girl you are! 
You’re the girl I do adore 
And still I live in hopes to see the Holy Ground once more
