The Parting Glass
- Of all the money that e'er I spent,
I've spent it in good company.
And all the harm that e'er I did,
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.
- 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'd wish me one more day to stay.
But since it falls unto 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 the town
that 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 with you all.
