Farewell My Lovely Johnny, A Thousand Times Adieu

You Are Going Away From The Holy Ground And The Ones That Love You True

You Will Sail The Salt Seas Over And Then Return For Sure

To See Again The Ones You Love And The Holy Ground Once More



You're On The Salt Sea Sailing, And I Am Safe Behind

Fond Letters I Will Write To You, The Secrets Of My Mind

And The Secrets Of My Mind, My Love, You're The One That I Adore

Still I Live In Hopes You'll See The Holy Ground Once More



I See The Storm A-rising, And It's Coming Quick And Soon

And The Night's So Dark And Cloudy You Can Scarcely See The Moon

And The Secrets Of My Mind, My Love, You're The One That I Adore

And Still I Live In Hopes You'll See The Holy Ground Once More



But Now The Storms Are Over, And You Are Safe And Well

We Will Go Into A Public House And We'll Sit And Drink Our Fill

We Will Drink Strong Ale And Porter And We'll Make The Rafters Roar

And When Our Money, It Is All Spent, You'll Go To Sea Once More



You're The One That I Adore

And Still I Live In Hopes That You'll See The Holy Ground Once More
