Lyrics:

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 or might never meet here again



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 or might never meet here again



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



My footsteps may falter my wit it may fail My course may be challenged by November gale Ere fortune shall prove to be friend or foe You will always be with me wherever I go
