HIGH KINGS lyrics : "The parting glass"


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 my 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
