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;

Come lift up your voices all grief to refrain,

For we may or might never all meet here again

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 or might never all meet here again.

Here's a health to the dear lass that I love so well,

For her style and her beauty, sure none can excel,

There's a smile on her countenance as she sits on my knee

there's no man in this wide world as happy as me

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 or might never all meet here again.

Our ship lies at anchor, she's ready to dock,

I wish her safe landing, without any shock,

If ever I should meet you by land or by sea,

I will always remember your kindness to me.

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 or might never all meet here again.

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 or might never all meet here again.
