    The Parting Glass

Parting Gloine: 

Verse 1: 
D5                    F5      C5
Of all the money that ere I had, 
     D5                  C5
I spent it in good company. 
            D5             C5
And all the harm that ere I done, 
D5     C5                D5
Alas! It was to none but me. 
      F5
And all Ive done for want of wit, 
      G5                F5
To memory now I cant recall. 
     D5                    C5
So fill to me the parting glass. 
     D5            C5          D5
Goodnight and joy be with you all.
 
Verse 2:  
D5                          C5
Oh, all the comrades that ere I had, 
         D5                   C5
They're sorry for my going away, 
          D5                    C5
And all the sweethearts that ere I had, 
D5                   C5              D5
They?d wish me one more day to stay 
        F5
But since it falls unto my lot 
            G5                F5
That I should rise and you should not, 
         D5                         C5
I will gently rise and I'll softly call, 
      D5       C5                D5
"Goodnight and joy be with you all!"
 
 Verse 3:
D5               F5              C5
Oh, if I had enough money to spend 
      D5                 C5
And leisure time to sit awhile 
     D5              F5        C5
There is a fair maid in this town 
D5     C5                    D5
That sorely has my heart beguiled 
        F5 
Her rosy cheeks and ruby lips, 
G5           F5                C5
I own she has my heart in thrall. 
     D5                 F5         C5
So fill to me the parting glass. 
        D5           C5                D5
?Goodnight and joy be with you all.?
