The Parting Glass

[Intro]
I'm not a perfect man
Not even a good man
But I'm not the sum of my mistakes
Or the sum of all the good things I've done
The truth lies somewhere between the two
But I'm a man who has been loved well
Both by God and by his family
And I'm a grateful man
So friends, walk slow, go easy
And love well

[Verse 1]
Of all the money that I had
I spent it in good company
And all the harm I ever did
Alas, it was to none but me
And all I've done for want of wit
To memory now, I can't recall
So fill to me the parting glass
Good night, and joy be with you all

[Verse 2]
Of all the comrades that I had
They'rе sorry for my going away
And all the sweethearts that I had
They'd wish mе one more day to stay
But since it fell into my lot
That I should rise and you should not
I'll gently rise and softly call
"Goodnight, and joy be with you all"

[Refrain]
I'll gently rise and softly call
"Goodnight, and joy be with you all"
