Mairi's Song
copyright 1998 Mary Bertke

Pleasure flows freely with the music and song

with never a thought of a parting so long

Too soon we reach the time when our pathways must part

with a tear in each eye and an ache in each heart.

 

Refrain:

So let's lift up our glasses in a health to our friend,

let us sing slan abhaile 'til we meet again.

Let us drink to the mem'ries we hold in our hearts

they'll keep us warm and loving when we're so far apart.

 

Here's a health to carousing and singing all night,

to the waves and the waters that brought such delight.

Good luck to the good friends who shared them with me,

may your hearts find contentment wherever you be.

 

There's a ship leaving harbor to face the salt sea,

she's bound for a port in a far counterie.

God speed to your travels, take good care of yourself.

I will sing of the memories and I'll drink to your health.
