Ben J W Anthony - The Parting Glass (Eire)

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 memory now I can't recall
So fill to me the parting glass
Good night and joy be to you all
So fill to me the parting glass
And drink a health what e'er befalls
And gently rise and softly call
Good night and joy be to you all
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
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
So fill to me the parting glass
And drink a health what e'er befalls
And gently rise and softly call
Goodnight and joy be to you all
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 to you all
So fill to me the parting glass
And drink a health what e'er befalls
And gently rise and softly call
Good night and joy be to you all
So fill to me the parting glass
And drink a health what e'er befalls
And gently rise and softly call
Good night and joy be to you all
Good night and joy be to you all
