Holy Ground |
| As I rolled into Frisco, boys, I went upon the street |
| I drank and gambled all night long, as drunk as I could be |
| I drank and gambled all night long, till I could drink no more |
| 'Twas then that I thought that I’d like to be back in the Holy Ground once more |
| Once more, boys, once more, the Holy Ground once more |
| 'Twas then I that thought that I’d like to be back in the Holy Ground once more |
| I shipped on the Angeline, me boys, down for the Arctic Sea |
| Where cold winds blow amid frost and snow, was as cold as it could be |
| Where cold winds blow amid frost and snow, but the good old ship she did roll |
| 'Twas then that I thought that I’d like to be back in the Holy Ground once more |
| Once more, boys, once more, the Holy Ground once more |
| 'Twas then that I thought that I’d like to be back in the Holy Ground once more |
| We weren’t long in the Arctic Sea when we had spied a whale |
| With harpoon in my icy hands, to hit I dare not fail |
| With harpoon in my icy hand, I shot but I struck before |
| 'Twas then that I thought that I’d like to be back in the Holy Ground once more |
| Once more, boys, once more, the Holy Ground once more |
| 'Twas then that I thought that I’d like to be back in the Holy Ground once more |
| When you’re aboard a whaling ship with storms and gales afore |
| Your mind is in some public house that lies upon the shore |
| Your mind is in some public house that lies upon the shore |
| 'Twas then that I thought that I’d like to be back in the Holy Ground once more |
| Once more, boys, once more, the Holy Ground once more |
| 'Twas then that I thought that I’d like to be back in the Holy Ground once more |
