The Parting Glass

And of all the money that 'ere I've had
I spent it in good company
And of all the harm that 'ere I've done
Alas it was to none but me

For all, I've done
And for want of wit
To memory now
I can't recall
So fill to me the parting glass
Goodnight and joy be with you all

And if I had money and off to spend
And leisure time to sit a while
There is a fair maid in this town
That slowly has my heart beguiled

Her rosy cheeks
And ruby lips
They slowly have
My heart enthralled
So raise to me the parting glass
Goodnight and joy be with you all

And of all the comrades that 'ere I've had
Who'll be sorry for my going away
And of all the sweethearts that 'ere I've known
That would bid me one more day to stay

But since it falls
Unto my lot
That I should arise
And you should not
I'll gently rise and I'll softly call
Goodnight and joy be with you all
Goodnight and joy be with you all
Goodnight and joy be with you all
