Here's A Health To The Company

Kind friends and companions, come join me in rhyme
Come lift up your voices in chorus with mine
Let us drink and be merry, all grief to refrain,
For we may and might never all meet here again.

So here's a health to the company, and one to my lass.
Let us drink and be merry all out of one glass.
Let us drink and be merry all grief to refrain,
For we may and might never all meet here again.

Here's a health to the wee lass that I love so well.
For style and for beauty there's none can excel;
She smiles on my countenance as she sits on my knee.
Sure, there's no one on earth who's as happy as me.

Our ship lies at harbor, she's ready to dock;
I wish her safe landings without any shock.
And if ever we meet again by land or by sea,
I will always remember your kindness to me.
