Kind friends and companions come join me in rhyme
Come and 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
[Chorus:]
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 are none can excel
She smiles on my countenance as she sits on my knee
Sure there's no one on earth as happy as we
[Chorus]
Our ship lies at harbor, she's ready to dock
We wish her safe landing without any shock
And if ever we meet again by land or by sea
I will always remember your kindness to me
[Chorus]
Here's a health to the all of you; if I've named you not
Do not think for one moment it's because you're forgot
I will treasure the memories as I call you my friend
And I hope some day very soon we all meet again
[Chorus: once softly, again louder]
Come and 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
[Chorus:]
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 are none can excel
She smiles on my countenance as she sits on my knee
Sure there's no one on earth as happy as we
[Chorus]
Our ship lies at harbor, she's ready to dock
We wish her safe landing without any shock
And if ever we meet again by land or by sea
I will always remember your kindness to me
[Chorus]
Here's a health to the all of you; if I've named you not
Do not think for one moment it's because you're forgot
I will treasure the memories as I call you my friend
And I hope some day very soon we all meet again
[Chorus: once softly, again louder]
