Dubliners - The Partin' Glass lyrics

The Parting Glass

Oh all the money that e'er I had, I spent it in good

Company.

And all the harm that e'er I've 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 come fill to me the parting glass, Good night and joy

Be with you all.

If I had money enough to spend, and leisure time to sit

Awhile.

There is a fair maid in this town, that sorely has my

Heart beguiled.

Her rosy cheeks and ruby lips, I swear she has my heart

Beguiled,

Then come fill to me the parting glass, Good night and

Joy be with you all.

Oh 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 wished me

One more day to stay.

But since it falls unto my lot, that I should rise and

You should not,

I gently rise and softly call, Goodnight and joy be with

You all
