about

Written by "The Highwaymen"

lyrics

Come and join me my friends, take a seat by the fire
Fill your glasses with whiskey, and stay for awhile
And if you're of a humor to be entertained
Well I'll sing you a song, you'll join the refrain

Here's a health to history, and one to memory
And here's to the point where all memory ends
On the last drop, raise your glass, chase it up
For there's nothing so fine as a drink between friends

Here's a health to the loves and the lusts of young life
We'll drink one to McGregor and twice to his wife
Here's a health to the pleasures and pains of the year
If you drink to one to sorrow drink two to good cheer

Here's a health to history, and one to memory
And here's to the point where all memory ends
On the last drop, raise your glass, chase it up
For there's nothing so fine as a drink between friends

Here's a health to the boots that have brought me thus far
A health to the guidance of the bright evening star
Here's a health to the mists and the moon's centered wreath
And to all of the lassie's I've loved underneath

And a health to history, and one to memory
And here's to the point where all memory ends
On the last drop, raise your glass, chase it up
For there's nothing so fine as a drink between friends

Here's a health to the brewer, and one to her mead
A health to the barley, the hops, and the seed
Here's a health to the French, their clothes are so fine
They may dress like sissies, but make a mean wine

And a health to history, and one to memory
And here's to the point where all memory ends
On the last drop, raise your glass, chase it up
For there's nothing so fine as a drink between friends

Here's a health to the dusts, the road, and the wind
A health to the whiskey, and the jar it came in
Here's a health to the present, the future, and past
For we're all here together, so come one raise your glass

In a health to history, and one to memory
And here's to the point where all memory ends
On the last drop, raise your glass, chase it up
For there's nothing so fine as a drink between friends

Here's to strong German brewers, and Irish Poitín
To stout Scottish whiskey, and weak English Gin
Here's a health to the French wine, I've mentioned before
And to Bourbon and Brandy, true gifts of the Lord

And a health to history, and one to memory
And here's to the point where all memory ends
On the last drop, raise your glass, chase it up
For there's nothing so fine as a drink between friends

Here's a health to history, and one to memory
And here's to the point where all memory ends
On the last drop, raise your glass, chase it up
For there's nothing so fine as a drink between friends
