The Parting Glass Lyrics

The Parting Glass - The Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem

Written by:Trad.Arr. Clancy Brothers

Of all the money that e'er I spent

 

I've spent it in good company

 

And all the harm that I ever did

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

 

If I had money enough to spend

 

And leisure time to sit awhile

 

There is a fair maiden this town

 

That sorely has my heart beguiled

 

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

 

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

 

 

Goodnight and joy be with you all
