Health to the Company

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 meet here again

So here's a health to the company, and one for 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 meet here again

A ship lies at harbour, she's ready to dock

I wish for safe landing without any shock

And if 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 for 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 meet here again

My footsteps may falter, my wit it may fail

My course may be challenged by November gale

E'er fortune shall prove to be friend or be foe

You will always be with me wherever I go

So here's a health to the company, and one for 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 might or may never meet here again
