The Parting Glass Songtext
The Parting Glass
Oh all the money that e'er I had, I spent it in good company.
And all the harm that e'er I've 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 come fill to me the parting glass, 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 swear she has my heart beguiled,
Then come fill to me the parting glass, Good night and joy be with you all.

Oh 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 wished me one more day to stay.
But since it falls unto my lot, that I should rise and you should not,
I gently rise and softly call, Goodnight and joy be with you all
