Kind friends and companions, together combine And raise 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 company and one to my la** Let us drink and be merry all out of one gla** Let us 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 la** that I love so well Her style and her beauty, there's none can excel There's a smile on her countenance as she sits on my knee Sure there's no one in in this wide world as happy as me [Chorus] Our ship lies at harbor, she's ready to dock I hope she's safe landed without shake or shock And when we are sailing to the land of the free I will always remember your kindness to me I have read this old proverb, I've read it so true My love is as fair as the bright morning dew I have read this old proverb, I suppose you have too So good friends and companions I bid you adieu [Chorus]
