A Health to the Company Songtext

von Owain Phyfe

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

Kind friends and companions, come join in my rhyme
And 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 or might never all meet here again

Our ship lies at harbor; she's ready to dock
I wish her safe landing without any shock
And if ever we meet again on land or on sea,
I will always remember your kindness to me

So 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 might fail
My course may be challenged by November gale
E'er fortune shall prove to be friend or be foe;
You will always be with me wherever I go

So 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
