Over deze songtekst:
'The Parting Glass' was een heel populair Iers/Schots lied dat veel gezongen werd. Vaak aan het einde van een bijeenkomst. Haar populariteit nam af toen Robert Burns zijn 'Auld Lang Syne' uitbracht.
Bob Dylan's song 'Restless Farewell' is gebaseerd op dit lied.
Of all the money that here I spent I spent it in good company And of all the harm that here I've done Alas was done 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 Goodnight and joy be with you all Oh, if I had money enough to spend And leisure time to sit awhile There's a fair young man in this town That sorely has my heart beguiled His rosy cheeks and lovely lips Alone he has my heart in thrall So fill to me the parting glass Goodnight and joy be with you all Of all the comrades that here I've had They're sorry for my going away And of all the sweethearts that here I had They wish me one more day to stay But since it falls unto my lot That I should rise and you should not I will gently rise and softly call Goodnight and joy be with you all
