Snakes In Exile - the parting glass lyrics
Your rating:
Of 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 that I’ve done For want of wit To memory now, I can’t recall So fill to me the parting glass Goodnight and joy be to you all If I had money enough to spend And leisure time to sit a while There is a fair maid in this town She surely has me heart beguiled Her rosy cheeks and ruby lips I own, she has me heart enthralled So fill to me the parting glass Goodnight and joy be to you all Of all the comrades e’er I had They are sorry for my going away And all the sweethearts e’er I had They’d wish me one more day to stay But since it fell into my lot That I should rise and you should not I gently rise and softly call Goodnight and joy be to you all Arr : Snakes , M : trad , T : trad
