W: W:1 W:Adieu to you my own true love, a thousand times adieu W: We're going away from the holy ground and the girls that we love true.

W: And still I live in hope to see the holy ground once more. W: W:2 W:I see the storm cloud arising, I see it coming soon. W: And the sky it is so cloudy, I can scarcely see the moon. W:The good ship she was tossing about, the rig it was all torn, W: And still I live in hope to see the holy ground once more. W: W:3 W: And now the storm is over and we are safe on shore W: We will drink and toast to the holy ground and the girls that we adore. W: We will drink strong ale and porter and make the rafters roar, W: And when our money is all spent, we'll go to sea once more.
