The Parting Glass Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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 I've done for want of which
To memory now I can't recall
So fill to me the parting glass
Good night and joy be with you all

[Verse 2]
Oh all the comrades that e'er I've had
They are sorry for my going away
And all the sweethearts that e'er I've had
They would wish me one more day to stay
But since it falls unto my lot t
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
