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 comrades 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 I 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,
I own she has my heart enthralled.
then fill to me the parting glass,
goodnight and joy be with you all.
