the parting glass

Singer: felice brothers, the

of 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 with

to mem'ry now i can't recall

so fill to me the parting glass

good night and joy be to you all

and all the comrades e'er i had

they're sorry for my going away

and all the sweethearts e'er i've had

they'd wish me one more day to stay

but since it falls into my lot

that i shall rise and you shall not

well i gently rise and softly call

good night and joy be to you all
