The Parting Glass

Of all the money that ever I had I spent it in good company, and of all the harm that ever I've done atlas it was till none but me. And all I've done for want or need to my memory now I can't recall, so fill to me a parting glass goodnight and joy be with you all. Of all the comrades that ever I had, they're sorry now for my going away. And of all the sweethearts that ever I've had, they would wish me one more day to stay. But since it falls unto my lord, that I should rise and you should not. I am gently rise and softly call goodnight and joy be with you all. A man may drink and not be drunk, a man may fight and not be slane, a man may call a pretty girl and perhaps be welcomed home again. But since it has so- -a time to rise and a time to fall, fill to me a parting glass, goodnight and joy be with you all. So goodnight and joy be with you all. END
