Lyrics:
Fare thee well my lovely Dinah A thousand times adieu For we're going away from the Holy Ground And the girls we all 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
You're the girl I do adore And still I live in hopes to see The Holy Ground once more
And now the storm is raging And we are far from shore And 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
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 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 we'll make the rafters roar And when our money is all spent We will go to sea once more
You're the girl I do adore And still I live in hopes to see The Holy Ground once more
Song Notes:
This year, we are once again participating in the RPM Challenge. Last year, we produced our album All In A Day's Work for RPM Challenge 2007. This year, we are basing our album on the concept behind the Beatnik Turtle songs Beer Beer Beer, All For Me Grog, and Whiskey Yer The Devil. That is, we are taking traditional Irish songs and re-arranging them Beatnik Turtle style.
This week, we present the first finished cut from the new album. Watch for more in the month of March!
