The Parting Glass
Shaun Davey
All the money that e'er 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
Goodnight and joy be to you all!
Fill to me the parting glass
And drink a health whate'er befalls
Then gently rise and softly call
Goodnight and joy be to you all!
Of 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'd wish me one more day to stay.
Since it fell into my lot
That i should rise, and you should not
I'll gently rise and softly call
Goodnight and joy be to you all!
But since it fell into my lot
That i should rise and you should not
I'll gently rise and softly call
Goodnight and joy be to you all!
So fill to me the parting glass
And drink a health whate'er befalls
Then gently rise and softly call
Goodnight and joy be to you all!
