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 and might never all meet here again

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

Here’s a health to the dear lass 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 one on earth who’s as happy as we

Chorus:

So 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

Here’s a health to the hearty lad that I’ve come to know

His strength and his intellect might not always show

But his heart remains faithful, for he loves only me

Sure there’s no one on earth who’s as happy as we

(Chorus)

Our ship lies at harbor, she’s ready to dock

We wish her safe landing without any shock (*clap or stomp quickly*)

And if ever we meet again by land or by sea

I will always remember your kindness to me

(Chorus)
