The Parting Glass

Oh all the time that e’er I spent,

I spent it in good company;

And any harm that e’er I’ve done,

I trust it was to none but me;

May those I’ve loved through all the years

Have memories now they’ll e’er recall;

So fill me to the parting glass,

Goodnight, and joy be with you all.

Oh all the comrades that e’er I had,

Are sorry for my going away;

And all the loved ones that e’er I had

Would wish me one more day to stay.

But since it falls unto my lot

That I should leave and you should not,

I’ll gently rise and I’ll softly call

Goodnight, and joy be with you all.

Of all good times that e’er we shared,

I leave to you fond memory;

And for all the friendship that e’er we had

I ask you to remember me;

And when you sit and stories tell,

I’ll be with you and help recall;

So fill to me the parting glass,

God bless, and joy be with you all.
