The Kerry Boys: Listen
The Parting Glass
(The Kerry Boys - KB3)
Traditional
O, 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 fill to me a parting glass
Goodnight and joy be with you all
O all the comrades that e’er I had
They are sorry for my going away
And all the sweethearts that e’er I had
They would wish me one more day to stay
But since it falls unto my lot
That I should rise and you should not
I will gently rise and softly call
Goodnight and joy be with you all
