The Parting Glass

Liam Clancy

Intro: Of all the money that e'er I've seen I've spent it in good company And all the harm that ere I've done Alas it was to none but me And all I've done for want of wit To memory now I can't recall So fill to me the parting glass Good night and joy be with you all Repeat intro Oh fill to me the parting glass And drink a health what ere befalls I gently rise and softly call Goodnight 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 had They'd wish me one more day to stay But since it fell unto my lot That I should rise and you should not I gently rise and softly call Good night and joy be with you all A man may drink and not be drunk A man may fight and not be slain A man may court a pretty girl And perhaps be welcomed back again Intro But since it has so ordered been By a time to rise and a time to fall Come fill to me the parting glass Good night and joy be with you all Good night and joy be with you all
