lyrics

Here’s a health to the company

Here’s a health to the company and one to my lass
We’ll drink and be merry all out of one glass
We’ll drink and be merry all grief to refrain
For we may or might never all meet here again

Kind friends and companions, together combine
Come raise up your voices in chorus with mine
We’ll 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 style and for beauty, there’s none can excel
She smiles on my countenance as she sits on my knee
Sure there's none in this wide world as happy as me

Our ship lies at anchor, she is ready to dock
I wish her safe landing without shake or shock
And as we are sailing to the land of the free
I will always remember your kindness to me

I have read that old proverb I have read it so true
My love she’s as fair as the may morning dew
I have read that old proverb I suppose you have too
So good friends and companions I’ll bid you adieu

Au son du banjo, de la mandoline, de la guitare, de l’accordéon et du bodhran, cette trinité musicale révèle un véritable gospel irlandais... ... more
