HEALTH TO THE COMPANY



Kind friends and companions, come join me in rhyme

And 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

Her style and her beauty, sure none can excel

She smiles on my countenance and sits on me knee

Sure there's no one in Erin as happy as we



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

I hope she's safe landed without any shock

If ever I meet you by land or by sea

I will always remember your kindness to me
