The Parting Glass

Of all the money that er'e i spent

I spent it ingood company

And all the harm that ere i've done

Alas it was to none but me

And all i have done

For want of wit

To memory now i can't recall

So fill ne the parting glass

Goodnight and joy be with you all

Of all the comrades that er'e i had

Are sorry for my going away

And all the sweetheart that er'e i had

Would 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 i'll softly call

Goodnight and joy be with you all



If i had enough money to spend

And leisure time to sit a while

There is a fair maid in this town

That sorely has my heart beguiled

Her rosey cheeks and ruby lips

I own, she has my heart enthralled

So fill to me the parting glass

Goodnight and joy be with you all
