The Parting Glass

Verse 1

Oh all the money that e'er I spent, 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.

​

​

Verse 2

Oh, all the comrades that e'er I've had are sorry for my going away.
And all the sweethearts that e'er I've had would wish me one more day to stay.

​

But since it falls un-to my lot that
I should rise and you should not, I'll gent-ly rise and I'll soft-ly call, good night, and joy be with you all.

Good night, and joy be with you all.
