Parting Glass

The Parting Glass

Of all the money that ever I had

I spent it in good company

And all the harm that ever I 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

Goodnight and joy be with you all

Oh of all the comrades that ever I had

They’re sorry for my going away

And all the sweethearts that ever I had

They wish me one more day to stay

And since it falls into my lot

That I should rise and that you should not

I gently rise, I softly call

Goodnight and joy be with you all

 If I had money enough to spend

And leisure time to sit a while

There is a fair maid in this town

That surely has my heart beguiled

Her rosy cheeks and ruby lips

Alone she has my heart enthralled

So fill to me the parting glass

Goodnight and joy be with you all

Oh all the money that ever I had

I spent it in good company

And all the harm that ever I done

Alas it was to none but me

And since it falls into my lot

That I should rise and that you should not

I gently rise, I softly call

Goodnight and joy be with you all

So fill to me the parting glass

And raise a cheer where ever you fall

I gently rise and softly call

Goodnight and joy be with you all

Goodnight and joy be with you all
