The Parting Glass is an old Celtic folk song that there is much debate as to the origin of, some have attributed it to Sir Alex Boswell. The first written version we have recorded of it though was by David Herd who was an anthologist of Scottish folk songs and tales.
It was later adapted by Robert...
[Verse 1]
Of all the money that 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 I've done for want of wit
To mem'ry now I can't recall
So fill to me the parting glass
Good night and joy be to you all
[Verse 2]
So fill to me the parting glass
And drink a health whate’er befall
And gently rise and softly call
Good night and joy be to you all
[Verse 3]
Of 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
[Verse 4]
But since it fell unto my lot
That I should rise and you should not
I gently rise and softly call
Good night and joy be to you all
[Verse 5]
A man may drink and not be drunk
A man may fight and not be slain
A man may court a pretty girl
And perhaps be welcomed back again
But since it has so ought to be
By a time to rise and a time to fall
Come fill to me the parting glass
Good night and joy be with you all
Good night and joy be with you all
