Kind friends and companions, come join me in rhyme 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 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 loved so well For her style and her beauty, there's none can excel She smiles on my countenance and sits on me knee And sure there's no one in Earth is as happy as we
Our ship lies at harbor, she's ready to dock I wish her safe landing without any shock And if ever I meet again by land or by sea I will always remember your kindness to me
