The Parting Glass
O, all the money that e'er I had,
I spent it in good company,
And all the harm that e'er I've done,
It was to none, alas, but me.
And all I've done for want of wit,
To memory now 1 can't recall,
So fill to me a parting glass,
Goodnight, and joy be with you all.
O if I had money enough to spend,
And leisure time to sit a while,
There is a fair maid in this town
Who sorely has my heart beguiled;
Her rosy cheeks, her ruby lips,
I own she has my heart in thrall,
So I'll fill to her a parting glass,
Goodnight and joy be with you all.
O, 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 will gently rise and softly call
"Goodnight, and joy be with you all."
Note: God bless and thanks for listening.
