about

The Parting Glass,
A traditional song of parting, this is widely sung all over the North of Ireland. This version comes from a well-thumbed copy of Colm O'Lochlainn's 'Irish Street Ballads'.

lyrics

Of all the money e'er I had I spent it in good company,
And all the harm I've ever done, alas it was to none but me,
And all that I've done for want of wit, to memory now I can't recall,

CHORUS:
So fill to me the Parting Glass, goodnight and joy to you all.

If I had the money enough to spend and leisure time to sit awhile,
There is fair maid in this town that surely has me heart beguiled.
Her rosy cheeks and ruby lips, I own she has me heart enthralled.

CHORUS.

Of all the comrades e'er I had they're sorry for my going away,
And all the sweethearts e'er I had they'd wish me one more day to stay.
But since it fell into my lot that I should rise and you should not,
I gently rise and softly call goodnight and joy be to you all.
