Kind friends and companions, come join me in rhyme Come, lift up your voices in chorus with mine Let's drink and be merry, all grief to refrain For we may and might never all meet here again Chorus (after each verse): So here's a health to the company and one to my lass Let's drink and be merry, all out of one glass Let's 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 wee lass that I love so well For her style and her beauty, there's none can excel She smiles on my countenance as she sits on my knee Sure there's no one on earth is as happy as me Our ship lies at harbor, she's ready to dock I wish her safe landing without any shock And if ever I meet you by land or by sea I will always remember your kindness to me 1
