Parting Glass
Hymnal Index | Ship's Company Website

---

Of all the money that e'er I spent I've spent it in good company
And all the harm that ever I did 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 They're sorry for my going away
And all the sweethearts that 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'll gently rise and softly call Good night and joy be with you all
