Here's a Health to the Company

Trad.

LYRICS

00:00 / 01:04

CHORUS

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


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


CHORUS


Here's a health to the dear lass that I love so well

Her style and her beauty, sure none can excel

There's a smile upon her countenance as she sits on my knee

Sure there's no one in in this wide world as happy as we


CHORUS


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

I hope she's safe landed without any shock

If ever we should meet again by land or by sea

I will always remember your kindness to me


CHORUS x 2
