Lyrics
HEALTH TO THE COMPANY
Kind friends and companions, come join me in rhyme
Come and lift up your voices in chorus with mine
Come and lift up your voices all grief to refrain,
For we may and might never all meet here again.
CHORUS:
Well, 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 and might never all meet here again.
Well, here's a health to the lassie that I love so well.
For style and for beauty there's none can excel
She smiles on my countenance as she sits on my knee.
Sure, there's no man on earth who's as happy as me.
CHORUS
Well, my ship lies in harbor, she's ready to dock;
And I wish her safe landing without any shock.
And if ever we meet again by land or by sea,
I shall always remember your kindness to me.
CHORUS
