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 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 memory now I can't recall
So fill to me the parting glass
Good night and joy be with you all

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 unto my lot
That I should rise and you should not
I'll gently rise and I'll softly call
Good night and joy be with you all

  • A decent song will stop you from crying. A good song will make you cry. A great song will show you there's no reason to cry. <3

  • Come on, we're almost at the top!

    Sleep it off later like the rest of them

    - Do we all have a drink? - Here, Maurice.

    Take a drink...

    ..and remember the man.

    Then raise your spirits to the sky!

    Raise them to Ned Devine!

    God bless you, Ned!

    And may we be forever in your debt.

    To Ned Devine

  • @Elmesias14 Which rock do you live under??

  • Absolutely lovely version, but none of the comments I've seen here give proper credit to Liam Clancy and the Clancy Brothers&Tommy Makem. The song was virtually unheard outside of Ireland and Scotland until the earliest Clancy recordings in New York in 1957 and 1959. The phenomenal popularity of their group in the early 60s, the first quasi-genuine Irish folk music in the U.S. that wasn't schmaltzed up by Bing Crosby or Dennis Day, introduced the song to virtually all who followed.
