[Verse 1]
Kind friends and companions, come join me in rhyme
Come lift up your voices in chorus with mine;
Come lift up your voices all grief to refrain
For we may or might never all meet here again

[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 or might never all meet here again

[Verse 2]
Here's a health to the dear lass that I love so well
For her style and her beauty, sure none can excel
There's a smile on her countenance as she sits on my knee
There's no man in this wide world as happy as me

[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 or might never all meet here again

[Verse 3]
Our ship lies at anchor, she's ready to dock
I wish her safe landing, without any shock
If ever I should meet you by land or by sea
(I will always remember your kindness to me.)
[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 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 or might never all meet here again
