Traditional Scottish Folk
The Parting Glass
[Verse 1]
Of all the money that e'er I had
I spent it in good company
And all the harm 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 to you all
[Verse 2]
If I had money enough to spend
And leisure time to sit awhile
There is a fair maid in this town
I own she has my heart enthralled
Her rosy cheeks and ruby lips
I own she has my heart enthralled
So fill to me the parting glass
Good night and joy be with you all
[Verse 3]
Oh, 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 falls unto my lot
That I should rise and you should not
I'll gently rise and softly call
Good night and joy be with you all
