The Parting Glass Lyrics


Of all the money that here I spent, I spent it in good company
And of all the harm that here Ive done, alas was done to none but me
And all Ive done for want of wit, to memory now I cant 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
Theres 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 Ive had, theyre 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.

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Donegal X-Press, the locomotive Baltimore band that has made their name with punked-up jigs and reels that snagged them CD of the year with the Irish Voice back in 2001, has cast their eye on this side of the Atlantic for inspiration.
The music on their new disc, the triumphant Stand Alone, generates the same greasy heat that you’d find on a griddle diner located somewhere on Route 66. More in line with the Black Crowes than the Black Velvet Band, the tunes marinade in a Jack Daniels sauce that yields smoke wafting out of your speakers with each listen.
