The Parting Glass |
| Of all the money that e’er I had |
| I spent it in good company |
| And all the harm that e’er I’ve done |
| Alas it was to none but me |
| And all I’ve done for want of wit |
| To memory now I can’t recall |
| 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 are sorry for my going away |
| And all the sweethearts that e’er 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’ll gently rise and I’ll softly call |
| Good night and joy be with you all |
| A man may drink and not be drunk |
| A man may fight and not be slain |
| A man may court a pretty girl |
| And perhaps be welcomed back again |
| But since it has so ought to be |
| By a time to rise and a time to fall |
| Come fill to me the parting glass |
| Good night and joy be with you all |
| Good night and joy be with you all |
