| Kind friends and companions, come join me in rhyme Come lift 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 dear lass that I love so well Her style and her beauty, sure none can excel There's a smile upon her countenance as she sits on my knee Sure there's no one in in this wide world as happy as we Our ship lies at harbor, she's ready to dock I hope she's safe landed without any shock If e'er we should meet again by land or by sea I will always remember your kindness to me |

This song was recently used for the closing of the faire at Bristol, replacing Jerry Spurlock's "Bring on the Starlight". -- Dean Calin "This is a traditional Irish/Scottish parting song. It's common to the Canadian Maritimes, too.." -- From the Cantarea web site. |
