The Parting Glass

LETRA

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 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 own she has my heart in thrall
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 beg 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"
