The Parting Glass

 

 

Of all the money that ere I had

I spent it in good company

And all the harm that ere I’ve done

Alas it was to none but me

 

And all I’ve done, for want of wit

To every now I can’t recall

So fill to me the parting glass

Good night and joy be to you all

 

So fill to me the parting glass

And drink a health for ere be for

And gently rise and softly call

Good night and joy be to you all

 

For all the comrades that ere I’ve had

They’re sorry for my going away

And all the sweethearts that ere I’ve had

They wish me one more day to stay

 

But since it falls unto my lot

That I should rise and you should not

I’ll gently rise and slowly go

Good night and joy be to you all

 

So fill to me the parting glass

And drink a health what ere be for

And gently rise and softly call

Good night and joy be to you all
