Lyrics
The parting Glass
Of all the money eer I had,
I spent it in good company,
And all the harm Ive ever done,
Alas it was to none but me,
And all Ive done for want of wit,
To memory now I cant recall,
So fill to me the Parting Glass,
Goodnight and joy to you all.
If I had money enough to spend,
And leisure time to sit awhile,
There is fair maid in this town,
That surely has me heart beguiled.
Her rosy cheeks and ruby lips,
I own, she has me heart enthralled.
So fill to me the Parting Glass,
Goodnight and joy to you all.
Of all the comrades eer I had,
Theyre sorry for my going away,
And all the sweethearts eer I had,
Theyd wish me one more day to stay.
But since it fell into my lot,
That I should rise and you should not,
I gently rise and softly call,
Goodnight and joy be with you all.
