Here’s a Health to the Company Songtext
von The Chieftains

Fine the friends and companions
Come join me in rhyme
Come lift up your voices
In with mine
Come lift up your voices,
All grief to refrain
For we may or might never
All meet here again

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 or might never
All meet here again


Here's a health to the wee lass
That I love so well
For her style and for her beauty
There's none can excel
There′s a smile on her countenance
As she sits upon my knee
There is no man in this wide
World as happy as me

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 or might never
All meet here again

Our ship lies at anchor
She's ready to dock
I wish her safe landing
Without any shock
And if I ever I should
Meet you by land or by sea
I will always remember
Your kindness to me


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 or might
Never all meet here again
