lyrics

The Parting Glass
traditional

Oh all the money that e'er I had
I spent it in good company
and all the harm I've ever done
Alas, it was to none but me
And all I've done for want of wit
To memory now I can't recall
So fill to me the parting glass
Good night and joy be with you all



Of all the comrades e'er I had
They're sorry for my going away
And all the sweethearts e'er I had
They would wish me one more day to stay
But since it falls into my lot
That I should rise and you should not
I'll gently rise and softly call
Good night and joy be with you all


If I had money enough to spend
and leisure time to sit awhile
there is a fair maid in this town
that sorely has my heart beguiled
her rosy cheeks and ruby lips
I own she has my heart in thrall
Then fill to me the parting glass
goodnight and joy be with you all
