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