The Parting Glass (SATB)

TEXT:
Of all the money that e’er I had,
I spent it in good company,
And all the harm I’ve ever done,
Alas it was to none but me.
And all I’ve done for want of wit
To mem’ry now I can’t recall.

So fill to me the parting glass;
Goodnight and joy be to you all.

So fill to me the parting glass
And drink a health what’ere befalls
And gently rise and softly call
Goodnight and joy be to you all.

Of all the comrades that e’er I had,
They’re sorry for my going away.
And all the sweethearts that e’er 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,
I gently rise and softly call
Goodnight and joy be to you all.

Of all the nights I traveled here
For snow on snow and yuletide due,
We’ll hold a drink to health and cheer
When I am welcomed back to you.

So fill to me the parting glass
And softly call
Goodnight.
