THE PARTING GLASS
Music by Caroline Shaw, Jason Treuting and Sō Percussion
Scottish traditional

Of all the money that e'er I had
I spent it in good company
And all the harm that e’er I’ve done
Alas it was to none but me
And all I've done for want of wit
To mem'ry now I can't recall
So fill to me the parting glass
Good night and joy be to you all

So fill to me the parting glass
And gather as the evening falls
And gently rise and softly call
Good night and joy be to you all

If I had money enough to spend
And leisure time to sit awhile
There is a fair maid in this town
She surely has my heart beguiled.
Her rosy cheeks, her ruby lips
I know she has my heart enthralled
So fill me to the parting glass
Good night and joy be with you all.

So fill me to the parting glass
And gather as the evening falls
And gently rise and softly call
Good night and joy be to you all

Of all the comrades that e'er I’ve had
They're sorry for my going away
And all the sweethearts that e'er I’ve 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’ll gently rise and I’ll softly call
Good night and joy be to you all

So fill to me the parting glass
And gather as the evening falls
And gently rise and softly call
Good night and joy be to you all
