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 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 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   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
