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 |
