Parting Glass, The

I capo on the third fret

Oh, [C] all the money that here I [Dm] spent
I [C] spent it in good [C] company
and [Am] all the harm that [C] here I [Dm] done
[C] alas, it [G] was to [Am] none but me
And [C] all I've done for want of wit
to [Dm] mem'ry now I [C] can't recall
So [Am] fill to me the [C] parting [Dm] glass
Good-[C] night and [G] joy be [Am] with you all

(this verse submitted by Sven via email 7.21.03)
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,
I own, she has my heart in thrall;
Then fill to me the parting glass,
Good night and joy be with you all.

Oh, all the comrades that 'ere I had
are sorry for my going away
and all the sweethearts that here I had
would 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 I'll softly call
Goodnight and joy be with you all
