A pdf of the lyrics and tune can be found here.
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
Here's a health to the dear lass that I love so well For her style and for her beauty, there's none can excel There's a smile upon her countenance as she sits on my knee There is none in this wide world as happy as me
Chorus
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
