The Parting Glass

as used in the film "Waking Ned Devine" sung by Shaun Davey

*picture doesn't change or move so feel free to scroll to your hearts content

I absolutely adore this song, no regrets and the love of friends makes parting more sweet than sorrowful ^_^

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 memory now I can't recall

So fill to me the parting glass

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 wish me one more day to stay

But since it falls unto my lot

that I should rise while you should not,

I gently rise and softly call,

"Goodnight and joy be with you all"

(additional stanza not included in this version)

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 to me the parting glass

Goodnight and joy be with you all
