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 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
Our ship lies at harbor, she's ready to dock
I wish she's safe landed without any shock
If ever I meet again by land or by sea
I will always remember your kindness to me
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 or might never all meet here again
My footsteps may falter
My wit it may fail
My course may be challenged by November gale
Ere fortune shall prove to be friend or by foe
You will always be with me wherever I go
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 or might never all meet here again
