Lyrics to "The Parting Glass"
Of all the money that e'er I had,
I spent it in good company.
and of all the harm that e'er I've done,
alas it was 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 to you all.
If I had money enough to spend,
and leisure time to sit awhile.
There is a fair maid in this town
who surely has my heart beguiled.
Her rosy cheeks and ruby lips
I own, she has my heart in thrall.
So fill to me the parting glass.
Good night and joy be to you all.
Of all the comrades that e'er I had
They're sorry for my going away
And all the sweethearts that e'er I had
They'd wish me one more day to stay.
But since it falls onto my lot
that I should rise and you should not.
I gently rise and softly call.
Good night and joy be to you all.
