The Parting Glass
[Verse 1]
Of all the money 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 to you all"
[Verse 2]
Oh if I had only enough to spend
And leisure time to sit awhile
There is a fair maid in this town
Who sorely has my heart beguiled
Her rosy cheeks and ruby lips
I own she has my heart enthralled
So fill to me the parting glass
"Good night, and joy be to you all"
[Verse 3]
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 gently rise and softly call
"Good night and joy be to you all
Good night and joy be to you all"
