'Welcome to Shanty-a-Day #164! We\'re the Harris Siblings and we love sea shanties - sing along from home with us and learn a new shanty every day while we\'re all stuck at home! Here’s A Health to the Company Kind friends and companions, come join me in rhyme Come lift up your voices in chorus with mine Come lift up your voices, all grief to refrain For we may or might never all meet here again Here\'s a health to the company and one 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 Here\'s a health to the wee lass that I love so well For style and for beauty there\'s none can excel There\'s a smile on her countenance as she sits upon my knee There is no man in this wide world as happy as me Our ship lies at anchor, she is ready to dock I wish her safe landing without any shock And if ever I should meet you by land or by sea I will always remember your kindness to me Here\'s a great recording from The Chieftans: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ksi3UgNbhRY&fbclid=IwAR2Znztwiqqw3SvBoBg4D9SWS2iR-Iu8Vgm9igI2snIQ0EcMKyE3w0LoyA0 Find out about Black Artists\' contributions to the sea shanty art form: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list...
