The Parting Glass

Of all the money ever I had
I’ve 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 width
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 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 a while
There is a fair maid in this town
That sorely has my heart beguiled
Her rosy cheeks and ruby lips
By own she has my heart enthralled
Then fill to me the parting glass
Good night and joy be with you all
