The Lasses - Here's To The Company (May Or May Never)

We learned this traditional song from the singing of Sheila Stewart. It's the parting song for our theatre concert Ver Weg, Dichtbij that we play with Janos Koolen. The video was recorded by Michaël Schotanus at the Kees Wennekendonk studio in Utrecht, in a medieval wharf cellar on the Oudegracht, thanks to the support of our Patreon community!

In the coming months, we'll play the last shows of Ver Weg, Dichtbij all around the Netherlands and we'd love to see you! For all gigs, see https://www.thelasses.nl/shows

LYRICS
Kind friends and companions come join me in rhyme,
And lift up your voices in chorus with mine;
Let's drink and be merry all grief to refrain,
For we may or might never all meet here again.

Now here's to the wee lass that I love so well,
For style and for beauty there's none can excel;
She smiles on me proudly as she sits on my knee,
And there's none in this wide world as happy as me.

So here's to the company, likewise 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.

My ship lies in harbour, she's ready to sail,
God grant her safe voyage without any gale;
And if we should meet again on land or on sea,
I will always remember your kindness to me.
