2. Here's a health to the dear lass that I love so well,

For her style and her beauty, sure none can excel,
There's a smile on her countenance as she sits on my knee
There's no man in this wide world as happy as me. (Chorus)

3. Our ship lies at anchor, she's ready to dock,

I wish her safe landing, without any shock,
If ever I should meet you by land or by sea,
I will always remember your kindness to me. (Chorus)
