Lyrics Loreena Mckennitt

Loreena Mckennitt

The Parting Glass

Of all the money that e'er I spent

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 mem'ry now I can't recall

So fill to me the parting glass

Good night and joy be with you all

Oh, if I had money enough to spend

And leisure time to sit a while

There is a fair man in this town

That sorely has my heart beguiled

His rosy cheeks and lovely lips

Alone he has my heart in thrall

So fill to me the parting glass

Good night and joy be with you all

Of all the comrades that e'er I had

They're sorry for my going away

And of all the sweethearts that e'er I had

They'd wish 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

Good night and joy be with you all
