Parting Glass

Emer Kenny

Of all the money that er'e I had

I spent it in good company

And all the harm that ere I've done

Alas it was to none but me

And all I have done

For want of wit

To memory now I cannot recall

So fill to me the parting glass

Goodnight and joy be with you all

If I had money enough to spend

And leisure time to sit a while

There is a fair maid in this town

That surely has my heart beguiled

Her rosey cheeks and ruby lips

I own she had my heart enthralled

So fill to me the parting glass

Goodnight and joy be with you all

Of all the comrades that er'e I had

They are sorry for my going away

And all the sweethearts that er'e I had

They'd wish me one more day to stay

But since it fell unto my lot

That I should rise and you should not

So I'll gently rise

And softly call

Goodnight and joy be with you all
