The Parting Glass Lyrics - John Mcdermott

Of all the money that er'e I spent 

I spent it ingood company 

And all the harm that ere I've done 

Alas it was to none but me 

And all I have done 

For want of wit 

To memory now I can't recall 

So fill ne the parting glass 

Goodnight and joy be with you all 

Of all the comrades that er'e I had 

Are sorry for my going away 

And all the sweetheart that er'e I had 

Would wish me one more day to stay 

But since it falls, unto my lot 

That I should rise and you should not 

I will gently rise 

And I'll softly call 

Goodnight and joy be with you all 

If I had enough money to spend 

And leisure time to sit a while 

There is a fair maid in this town 

That sorely has my heart beguiled 

Her rosey cheeks and ruby lips 

I own, she has my heart enthralled 

So fill to me the parting glass 

Goodnight and joy be with you all
