Health to the Company

Kind friends and companions, come join me in rhyme
 Come lift up your voices in chorus with mine
 Let us drink and be merry, all grief to refrain
 For we may or might never all meet here again
 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
 Now, here's a toast 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 one in this world as happy as 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
 Our ship lies in the harbour, she's ready to dock
 I wish her safe landing, without any shock
 And, if ever we should meet again, 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
