Ed Sheeran - The Parting Glass (Studio Version) + lyrics

The Parting Glass is the hidden bonus song on track 12 'Give Me Love' of Ed Sheeran's album '+' . It is a cover of a traditional Irish Folk song.

LYRICS:
Of all the money that e'er I had, I spent it in good company
And of 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 memory now I can't recall
So fill to me the parting glass. Goodnight and joy be with you all

Of all the comrades that e'er I had, they're sorry for my going away
And all the sweethearts that e'er 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, "Goodnight and joy be with you all!"

A man may drink and not be drunk, a man may fight and not be slain
A man may court a pretty girl and perhaps be welcomed back again
But since it has so ordered been by a time to rise and a time to fall
Come fill to me the parting glass, good night and joy be with you all
Good night and joy be with you all

[Finnr]

At 66 years old. I have sung this song far more than I wish I had. You never know when that parting glass will be the last one with those friends.

Good to see a modern artist carrying on a traditional song.

[Scoob]

"The Parting Glass" is a Scottish and Irish traditional song, often sung at the end of a gathering of friends. It was allegedly the most popular parting song sung in Scotland before Robert Burns wrote "Auld Lang Syne".

As a veteran who was at war every year of her career this song resonates within my soul. GOODNIGHT AND JOY BE WITH YOU ALL.

[PerryTrevor]

Thank you Ed for an amazing cover. I played this at my mothers funeral. She was truly a compassionate woman, and teacher. May she rest in peace.

[Shanvind]

Sailing with the Edward Kenway and his Jackdaw brought me here.

As a Veteran this song really holds a special place in my heart for all those that didn’t come back. I wait for your call.

[Hellchen]

For all the friends that are gone but never forgotten.
For Mary, Ed, Charles and all the others.
For men like Edward and Altair and Ezio who never really lived, but who have become a part of my life and will be forever in my heart.
For everyone who's crying now, like I do.

This man loves his Irish version of this song I've heard in a very time

[WhatAMessJada]

This is the best cover of the parting glass I’ve heard to this day

[KON]

I recited it for my younger brothers funeral, the Dubliners version but I like this version more. A proper Irish song, reflecting our true spirit. Sleep in peace my brother, love you X

[TheShamanicHealerGod]

This mans potential is other worldly, it's almost eerie. Thank God for his songs he wrote, music he covers, and everything else he touches. It really does change peoples lives, unlike soo many other artists.
I absolutely  can't wait to see him perform live in concert!

Dear Ubisoft… 

Thank you for the lessons. Thank you for the countless hours of intense feelings, but most of all thank you for the characters who taught us the importance of freedom, friendship, love, family, sacrifice, standing up for what you believe in and that people can change when they have a cause to fight for. I cried for every one of them <3

[belfastroastmaster]

Back when the iPod was still a thing, I would listen to Ed's entire album every night and fall asleep right after this song ended. A good send off to sail away to dream land.
Goodnight everybody.

[Lance_Lionroar]

It really is a wonderful feeling, being so touched and changed by the story of AC, and seeing people here, who feel just like me. Cheers Altair, Ezio, Connor, Edward, Haytham and Desmond. You'll all be remembered. You changed how I see things.
