The Parting Glass - The Cottars

The Parting Glass - The Cottars
Of all the money that e'er I spent
I've 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 fill to me the parting glass
Good night and joy be with you all
Fill to me the parting glass
And drink a health whatever befalls
And gently rise and softly call
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 rosey cheeks her ruby lips alone she has my heart in thrall
I'll gently rise and softly call
Good night and joy be with you all
Fill to me the parting glass
And drink a health whatever befalls
And gently rise and softly call
Good night 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 had
They wish me one more day to stay
But since it falls unto my lot that
I should rise while you should not
I'll gently rise and softly call goodnight
And joy be with you all
Fill to me the parting glass
And drink a health whatever befalls
And gently rise and softly call
Good night and joy be with you all
Fill to me the parting glass
And drink a health whatever befalls
And gently rise and softly call
Good night and joy be with you all
