Kind friends and companions, come join me in rhyme Come up your voices in chorus with mine Let us drink and be merry all grief to refrain For we may or 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 Let us drink and be merry all grief to refrain For may or might never meet here again
Our ship at harbour she's ready to dock 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
My footsteps may falter my wit it may fail My course may challenged by November gale fortune shall prove to be friend or foe You will always be with me wherever I go
So here's a health to the company and one my lass Let us drink and be merry all out of one glass Let us drink and be merry all grief to refrain For may or might never meet here again
