Kind friends and companions, come join me in rhyme Come lift up your in chorus with mine Let us and be merry all grief to refrain For we may or might never meet here again
Here's a health the company and one to my lass Let us drink and be merry all out of one glass us drink and be merry all grief to refrain For we may or might never meet here again
Our ship lies at harbour she's ready to I wish her safe landing without any shock And if we should meet again by land or by sea I will remember your kindness to me
footsteps may falter my wit it may fail My course may be challenged by November gale Ere fortune shall prove to be friend or foe You will always with me wherever I go
So here's a health to the company and one to my lass us drink and be merry all out one glass Let us drink and be merry all grief to refrain For we may or might never meet here again
