Go to Lord Gyric of Otershaghe's Bawdy Song Book Lord Gyric of Otershaghe's Bawdy Song Book
The Parting Glass
by   tune:

Of all the money that e'er I spent
I've spent it in good company
and all the harm that e'er I've done
Alas it was to none but me.

And all I've done for want of wit
to memory 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 to sit awhile
There is a fair maid in the town
That sorely has my heart beguiled.

Her rosy cheeks and ruby lips
I own she has my heart enthralled
So fill to me the parting glass
Good night and joy be with you all.

Oh, all the comrades that e'er I had
Are sorry for my going away
And all the sweethearts that e'er I kissed
They'd wish me one more day to stay.
