Karliene - The Parting Glass Lyrics

Of all the money that ere I had
I spent it in good company
And of all the harm that ere I've done
Alas was done to none but me
And all I've done for want of wit
To memory now I cannot recall
So fill me to the parting glass
Goodnight and joy be with you all

Of all the comrades that ere I had
They're sorry for my going away
And of all the sweethearts that ere I had
They wish me one more day to stay
But since it falls unto my lot
That I should rise and you should not
I will gently rise and I'll softly call
Goodnight and joy be with you all

Oh, 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
She alone has my heart in thrall
So fill me to the parting glass
Goodnight and joy be with you all
