The words of songs that may be sung by folk bands

   The Holy Ground - - Adieu my fair young maidens, - A thousand times adieu - We must bid goodbye to the Holy Ground, - The place that we love true - We will sail the salt seas over - And return again for sure - To seek the girls that wait for us, - In the Holy Ground once more. - Refrain: - Fine girl you are, - You're the girl that I do adore, - And still I live in hope to see, - The Holy ground once more - Fine girl you are! - 2. We're on the salt sea sailing - And you are safe behind - Fond letters I will write to you, - The secrets of my mind - Fond letters I will write to you, - The girl I do adore - And still I live in hope to see, - The Holy ground once more.

The bagpipes—they are screaming and they are sorrowful. ~There is a wail in their merriment, and cruelty in their triumph. ~ They rise and fall like a weight swung in the air at the end of a string. ~ Hugh MacDiarmid
