[Chorus:]
Joy attend on Erminie,
Hers be ev'ry earthly bliss,
May her direst sorrow be,
Oft returning days like this.
Be she wealthy, be she wealthy
As such natal day returns,
Time while flying gratifying
Ev'ry hope for which she yearns.
Let our poorest wishes be
Joy attend on Erminie,
Let our poorest wishes be
Joy attend on Erminie,
Let our poorest wishes be
Joy attend on Erminie.
[Erminie:]
Thanks, dear friends, my thanks receive,
With good wishes you confuse,
That I'm grateful, pray believe,
But at loss what words to use,
I confess, to express
how your wishes my heart touch,
But I thank you, thanks so much,
But I thank you, thanks so much.
[Chorus:]
Joy attend on Erminie,
Hers be ev'ry earthly bliss,
May her direst sorrow be,
Oft returning days like this.
Be she wealthy, be she wealthy
As such natal day returns,
Time while flying gratifying
Ev'ry hope for which she yearns.
Let our poorest wishes be
Joy attend on Erminie,
Let our poorest wishes be
Joy attend on Erminie,
Let our poorest wishes be
Joy attend on Erminie.
