Here’s A Health - Cara Dillon

Kind friends and companions together combine

And raise up your voices in chorus with mine

We will 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

We will drink and be merry all out of one glass

We will drink and be merry all grief to refrain

For we may and might never all meet here again

Here's a health to the wee lass that I love so well

Her style and her beauty there's none can excel

A smile on her countenance as she sits on my knee

There is none in this wide world as happy as me

Chorus

Here's a health to the company and one to my lass

We will drink and be merry all out of one glass

We will drink and be merry all grief to refrain

For we may and might never all meet here again

Our ship lies at harbor and ready to dock

I wish her safe landing without shake or shock

And when we are sailing to the land of the free

I will always remember your kindness to me

I have read that old proverb I've read it so true

My love is as fair as the bright morning dew

I have read that old proverb I suppose you have too

So good friends and companions I bid you adieu

Chorus:

Here's a health to the company and one to my lass

We will drink and be merry all out of one glass

We will drink and be merry all grief to refrain

For we may and might never all meet here ag
