The Parting Glass
Of all the money that ere I had
I spent it in good company
And all the harm I've ere done
Alas it was to none but me
And all i done for want of wit
To mem'ry now I cant recall
So fill to me the parting glass
Goodnight and joy be to you all
Chorus:
So fill to me the parting glass
And drink to health what ere beholds
Then gently rise and softly call
"Goodnight and joy be to you all"
Of all the comrades that ere I had
Their sorry for my going away
And all the sweethearts that ere I had
They wished me one more day to say
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"
Chorus
[instrumental]
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 to health what ere beholds
Then gently rise and softly call
"Goodnight and joy be to you all"
"Goodnight and joy be to you all"
