The Parting Glass

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Of all the money e'er I had

I spent it in good company

And all the harm I have ever done

Alas! It was to none but me

And all I've done for want of wit

To mem'ry 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 whate’er befalls

Then gently rise and softly call

Good night and joy be to you all

Of all the comrades that e'er I had

They're sorry for my going away

And all the sweethearts that e'er I had

They'd wish me one more day to stay

But since it fallen unto my lot

That I should rise and you should not

I'll gently rise and softly call

Good night and joy be to you all

So fill to me the parting glass

And drink a health whate’er befalls

And gently rise and softly call

Good night and joy be to you all

But since it fallen unto my lot

That I should rise and you should not

I'll gently rise and softly call

Good night and joy be to you all

So fill to me the parting glass

And drink a health whate’er befalls

Then gently rise and softly call

Good night and joy be to you all
