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 is 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 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 or might never all meet here again
