The Parting Glass - Cara Dillon |
|
Of all the money that ere I had, I've spent it in good company, |
|
And of all the harm that ere I've done, alas was done to none but me. |
|
And all I've done for want of wit, to memory now I cannot recall. |
|
So fill me the parting glass, goodnight and joy be with you all. |
|
Of all the comrades that ere I had, they're sorry for my going away, |
|
And of all the sweethearts that ere I've had , they wish me one more day to stay, |
|
But since it falls unto my lot that I should rise and you should not, |
|
I'll gently rise and I'll softly call, Goodnight and joy be with you all. |
|
A man may drink and not be drunk, |
|
a man may fight and may not be slain |
|
A man may court a pretty girl |
|
and perhaps be welcome back again. |
|
But since it has so ordered been by a time to rise |
|
And a time to fall |
|
Come fill to me the Parting glass, goodnight and joy be with you all. |
|
Come fill to me the Parting glass, goodnight and joy be with you all. |
|
End |
