Oh the night was dark and stormy.  You scarce could see the moon

C           C        Am         F          Em   Dm       C                  G7

And our gallant ship was tossed about and her rigging all was torn

G7           C             G7          C       C         C         Am     G7  F     G7  

With her seams all a-gape and leaky with her timbers dozed and old__

And still I live in hopes to see the Holy Ground once more

And now the storm is over and we are safe on the shore

Let us drink a health to the Holy Ground and the girls that we a-dore

And when our money all is spent     we will go to sea once more.
