The Parting Glass
The Clancy Brothers made the

of their sessions with this song!

and lot of other artists.
Look for more comments at the bottom.
Am G
[1] Of all the money that e'er I spent
Am G
I've spent it in good company
Am G
And all the harm that ever I did
Am G Am
A-las it was to none but me
C
And all I've done for want of wit
Dm C
To memory now I can't recall
Am G
So fill to me the parting glass
Am G Am
Good night and joy be with you all
Am G
[3] If I had money enough to spend
Am G
And leisure to sit a-while
Am G
There is a fair maid in town
Am G Am
That sorely has my heart beguiled
C
Her rosy cheeks and ruby lips
Dm C
I own she has my heart enthralled
Am G
So fill to me the parting glass
Am G Am
Good night and joy be with you all
Am G
[5] Oh, all the comerades that e'er I had
Am G
They're sorry for my going away
Am G
And all the sweethearts that e'er I had
Am G Am
They'd wish me one more day to stay
C
But since it falls unto my lot
Dm C
That I should rise and you should not
Am G
I'll gently rise and softly call
Am G Am
Good night and joy be with you all,
Am G Am
Good night and joy be with you all.

The second and forth verses are
usually not sang anymore, but they
were part of the original song:
[2] A man may drink and not be drunk.
A man may fight and not be slain
A man may court a pretty girl
And perhaps be welcomed back again
And since it is so ordered been
By a time to raise and a time to fall
Come fill to me the parting glass
Goodnight and joy be with you all
[4] My dearest dear the time draws near
When here I can no longer stay
There's not a comrade I leave behind
But is greaving that I'm going away
But since it has so ordered been
What is once past can't be recalled
Now fill to me the parting glass
Goodnight and joy be with you all
This song is very popular around
Galway. It dates back to 1700 and
is sung as a type of national anthem
at the end of a session,its origins
are Scottish
