The Parting Glass
Traditional Irish closing song

Oh of all the money that e'er I had, I spent it in good company;
And all the harm that e'er I've done, alas was done 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, goodnight and joy be with you all.

Oh of all the comrades that e'er I had, they're sorry for my going away,
And all the sweethearts that e'er I've had , they wish me one more day to stay,
But since it falls unto my lot, that I should go and you should not,
I'll gently rise and softly call, goodnight and joy be with you all.

If I had money enough to spend, and leisure time to sit awhile,
There is a fair maid in this town that surely has my heart beguiled.
Her rosy cheeks and ruby lips, I own she has my heart in thrall,
Then fill to me the parting glass, goodnight and joy be with you all.

Oh of all the money that e'er I had, I spent it in good company;
And all the harm that e'er I've done, alas was done to none but me;
And since it falls unto my lot, that I should go and you should not,
I'll gently rise and softly call, goodnight and joy be with you all.
