The Parting Glass

The High Kings · The High Kings [2008]

Of 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 mem'ry now I can't recall;

So fill to me the parting glass,

Good night and joy be to you all.



CHORUS

[So] fill to me the parting glass

And drink a health whate'er befalls

And gently rise and softly call

Good night 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'd wish me one more day to stay.

But since it fell unto my lot,

That I should rise and you should not,

I gently rise and softly call,

Good night and joy be to you all.

CHORUS [omit "so"], [instrumental break, humming]



But since it fell unto my lot,

That I should rise and you should not,

I gently rise and softly call,

Good night and joy be to you all.

CHORUS, repeat last line of chorus
