The Parting Glass

Of all money that ever I had

I spent it in good company

and of all the harm that ever I done

Alas it was to none but me

And all I've done for want of whit

to memory now I can't recall

so fill to me the parting glass

goodnight and joy be with you all

of all the comrade that ever i had

they are sorry for my going away

and of all the sweethearts that ever I had

They would wish 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

Goodnight and joy be with you all

If I had money enough to spend

and leisure time to sit awhile

there is a fairmaid in this town

that sorely has my heart beguiled

her rosy cheeks and ruby lips

then fill to me the parting glass

goodnight and joy be with you all.
