Spencer O Klein - The Parting Glass Lyrics

Of all the money that ere I had, I spent it in good company
And of all the harm that ere I've done, 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
And of all the comrades that ere I had, They are sorry for my going away
And of all the sweethearts that ere I had, They would wish me one more day to stay
But since it falls unto my lot, That I should rise and you should not
I'll gently rise and I'll softly call, Good night and joy be with you all
Oh, if I had money enough to spend, And leisure time to sit awhile
There is a fair maiden in town, Who sorely has my heart beguiled
With rosy cheeks and ruby lips, She surely has my heart enthralled
So fill to me the parting glass, Good night and joy be with you all
And of all the places I've come and gone, There is but one that holds my mind
It is a coastal town up north, That hugs Vancouver borderline
With water blue, trees evergreen, I promised one day I'd return
So fill to me a parting glass, Good night and joy be with you all
