The Parting Glass Lyrics by John Mcdermott

The Parting Glass Lyrics

    Of all the money that er'e i spent
    I spent it ingood company
    And all the harm that ere i've done
    Alas it was to none but me
    And all i have done
    For want of wit
    To memory now i can't recall
    So fill ne the parting glass
    Goodnight and joy be with you all
    Of all the comrades that er'e i had
    Are sorry for my going away
    And all the sweetheart that er'e i had
    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 i'll softly call
    Goodnight and joy be with you all

    If i had enough money to spend
    And leisure time to sit a while
    There is a fair maid in this town
    That sorely has my heart beguiled
    Her rosey cheeks and ruby lips
    I own, she has my heart enthralled
    So fill to me the parting glass
    Goodnight and joy be with you all
