The parting glass    (video)    (clip)

 

    Am ~

 

         C                           Am     G

1. Of all the money that e'er I had,

               C                              G

    I've spent it in good company,

               Am                       C        G

    and of all the harm that ever I done,

       C                  Am

    alas, it was to none but me.

 

            C

    And all I've done for want of wit

           G                   G7

    to memory now I can't recall.

         Am                 C          G       

    So fill to me the parting glass,

               C                      Am

    good night and joy be with you all.

 

         C                           Am      G

3. Of all the friends that ever I had,

                    C                             G

    they are sorry at my going away,

               Am                                 C         G

    and of all the sweethearts that ever I had,

                        C                          Am

    they would wish me one more day to stay.

 

            C

    But since it falls unto my lot

          G                          G7

    that I should rise and you should not,

         Am                        C       G

    I’ll softly rise and I’ll gently call,

               C                       Am

    good night and joy be with you all.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

       C                      Am            G

3. If I had money enough to spend

            C                              G

    and leisure time to sit awhile,

            Am                 C        G

    there is a fair maid in the town

              C                    Am

    who sorely has my heart beguiled.

 

            C

    Her rosy cheeks and ruby lips,

        G                        G7

    I own she has my heart enthralled.

         Am                 C          G

    So fill to me the parting glass,

               C                        Am

    Good night, and joy be with you all !
