The Parting Glass

Oh, all the money that e'er I spent
I spent it in good company
And all the harm that I e'er did
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 with you all

All the comrades that e'er I had
Are sorry for my going away
And all the sweethearts that e'er I had
Would wish me one more day to stay
But since it falls onto my lot
That I should rise and you should not
I'll gently rise and softly call
Goodnight and joy be with you all
