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
