The Parting Glass

Of all the money that I ever had
I spent it in good company
And all the harm that I ever done
Alas it was to none but me

And all I’ve done
for want of wit
To mem’ry now
I can’t recall
So fill to me
that parting glass
Good night and joy be with you all

Of all the comrades that ever I had
They’re sorry for my going away
And for all the sweethearts that I’ve ever had
They’d wish me one more day to stay

But since I fell upon my lot
That I should rise and you should not
I gently rise and softly call
Good night and joy be with you all

A man may drink and not be drunk
A man may fight and not be slain
A man may court a pretty village girl
And perhaps be welcomed back again

But since it has so ought to be
By a time to rise and a time to fall
Come fill to me the parting glass
Good night and joy be with you all

Good night and joy be with you all
