The Parting Glass Songtext
Of all the money ever 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 with you all
Of all the comrades ever I had
They're sorry for my going away
And all the sweethearts ever 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'll gently rise and softly call
Good night and joy be with you all
If I had money enough to spend
And leisure 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
Then fill to me the parting glass
Good night and joy be with you all
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 with you all
Of all the comrades ever I had
They're sorry for my going away
And all the sweethearts ever 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'll gently rise and softly call
Good night and joy be with you all
If I had money enough to spend
And leisure 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
Then fill to me the parting glass
Good night and joy be with you all
