Lyrics:

Kind friends and companions, come join me in rhyme
Come, lift up your voices in chorus with mine
Let's drink and be merry, all grief to refrain
For we may and might never all meet here again

Chorus (after each verse):
So here's a health to the company and one to my lass
Let's drink and be merry, all out of one glass
Let's drink and be merry, all grief to refrain
For we may and might never all meet here again

So here's a health to the wee lass that I love so well
For her style and her beauty, there's none can excel
She smiles on my countenance as she sits on my knee
Sure there's no one on earth is as happy as me

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