| Kind friends and companions, together combine
|
| And raise up your voices in chorus with mine
|
| We will drink and be merry, all grief to refrain
|
| For we may and might never all meet here again
|
| Here’s a health to the company and one to my lass
|
| We will drink and be merry all out of one glass
|
| We will 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
|
| A smile on her countenance as she sits on my knee
|
| There is none in in this wide world as happy as me
|
| Our ship lies at harbor and ready to dock
|
| I wish you safe landing 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 that old proverb, I’ve read it so true
|
| My love is as fair as the bright morning dew
|
| I have read that old proverb, I suppose you have too
|
| So good friends and companions I bid you adieu |
