Here's a Health Songtext

von Cara Dillon

Kind friends and companions, together combine
And raise up your voices in chorus with mine
We will drink and be merry, all grief to refrain
For me may and might never all meet here again

Chorus:
Here's a health to the company and one to my lass
We will drink and be merry all out of one glass
We will drink and be merry, all grief to refrain
For we may and might never all meet here again

Here's a health to the wee lass that I love so well
Her style and her beauty, there's none can excel
A smile on her countenance as she sits on my knee
There is none in this wide world as happy as me

Chorus

Our ship lies at harbor, and ready to dock
I wish her safe landing without shake or shock
And when we are sailing to the land oft the free
I will always remember your kindness to me

I have read that old proverb, I've read it so true
My love is as fair as the bright morning dew
I have read that old proverb, I suppose you have too
So good friends and companions I bid you adieu

Chorus
