the parting glass - traditional scottish folk lyrics

Loading...

[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 gl-ss
good night and joy be to you all

[verse 2]
so fill to me the parting gl-ss
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 gl-ss
good night and joy be with you all
good night and joy be with you all
