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 Heres a health to the dear lad that I love so well For style and for beauty theres none can excel He smiles on my countenance as I sit on his knee Sure theres no one on earth who is as happy as me Our ship lies at harbor, sh is ready to dock I wish her safe landing without any shark And if ver I meet you, by land or by sea Sure I will always remember your kindness to me So heres a health our company and one to my lad 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
merry, lad, health, grief, meet
