"The Parting Glass" lyrics
"The Parting Glass"
Oh, all the money e'er I had, I spent it in good company
And all the harm that ever I've done, alas it was to none but me
And all I've done for want of wit to mem'ry now I can't recall
So fill to me the parting glass, good night and joy be to you all
Oh, if I had only 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 own, she has my heart in thrall
So fill to me the parting glass, good night and joy be to you all
Of all the comrades e'er I had, they're sorry for my going away
And all the sweethearts e'er I had, they would wished me one more day to stay
But since it falls into my lot, that I should rise and you should not
I gently rise and softly call, goodnight and joy be to you all
Goodnight and joy be to you all

Lippy kids on the corner begin
Settling like crows
