Health To The Company Songtext
von The Dregs

Kind friends and companions, come join me in rhyme
Come lift up your voices in chorus 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 a 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 or might never all meet here again

And here's a health to the wee lad that I love so well
For style and for beauty there is none can excel
There′s a smile on my countenance as I sit upon his knee
There is no one in this wide world as happy as me


So here's a health to the company and a 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 or might never all meet here again

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

So here's a health to the company and a 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 or might never all meet here again

We′ll pass on our way now, our hands at our sides
Remembering the laughter and the tears that we cried
Like the beauty of Erin′s skies and the depths of the sea
Your spirit and friendship go always with me


So here's a health to the company and a 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 or might never all meet here again
