The Parting Glass Songtext
von Hair of the Dog

Of all the money 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
Good night and joy be with you all.


If I had money enough to spend,
And leisure time to sit awhile,
There is a fair maid in this town,
That sorely has my heart beguiled.
Her rosy cheeks and ruby lips,
I own she has my heart in thrall,
Then fill to me the parting glass,
Good night and joy be with you all.

Oh, all the comrades e′er I had,
They′re sorry for my going away,
And all the sweethearts e'er I had,
They′d wish me one more day to stay,
But since it falls unto my lot,
That I should rise and you should not,
I gently rise and softly call,
Good night and joy be with you all.
