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
chorus: 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 or might never all meet here again
here's a health to the dear lass that I love so well for her style and for her beauty there's none can excel there's a smile on her countenance as she sits upon my knee there is no man in this wide world as happy as me
chorus: 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 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 I ever I should meet you by land or by sea I will always remember your kindness to me
chorus: 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 or might never all meet here again
