The Parting Glass

V1 – Colin, Annie, Juliana, Janette

Oh all the money 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 recall
So fill to me the parting glass, good night and joy be with you all

V2 – Peter, Louli, Jo, Cathy

If I had money enough to spend, and leisure time to sit awhile
There is a fair one in this town, that sorely has my heart beguiled
With rosy cheeks and dimpled chin, I own they have my heart enthralled
Then fill to me the parting glass, good night and joy be with you all

V3 – Robin, Marcus, Wendy, Max

My dearest dear the time draws near, when here no longer can I stay
There’s not a comrade left behind, not grieving for my going away
But since it has so ordered been, what is once past can’t be recalled
Now fill to me the parting glass, good night and joy be with you all

V4 – all

Of all the comrades e’er I had, they’re sorry for my going away
And all the sweethearts e’er I had, they wish me one more drink to stay
But since it falls unto my lot, that I should go and you should not
I gently rise and softly call, good night and joy be with you all

Good night and joy be with you all
