The Parting Glass Lyrics

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 mem'ry 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're sorry for my going away,
And all the sweethearts that e'er I've 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 we drink and not be drunk,
And may we 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 time to fall
Come fill to me the parting glass
Good night and joy be with you all.
Come fill to me the parting glass
Good night and joy be with you all.
