Loreena McKennitt - The Wind That Shakes the Barley

The Parting Glass

Of all the money that e'er I spent
I spent it in good company
And of all the harm that e'er I've done
Alas, it was done 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 the parting glass
Good night and joy be with you all

Oh, if I had money enough to spend
And leisure time to sit a while
There's a fair young man in this town
That sorely has my heart beguiled

His rosy cheeks and lovely lips
Alone, he has my heart enthralled
So fill to me the parting glass
Good night and joy be with you all

Of all the comrades that e'er I had
They're sorry for my going away
And of all the sweethearts that e'er I had
They'd wish me one more day to stay

But since it falls unto my lot
That I should rise and you should not
I will gently rise and softly call
Good night and joy be with you all
