-- | 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 was done to none but me
And all I've done for want of wit
To memory now I cannot recall
So fill me to the parting glass
Goodnight and joy be with you all

Of all the comrades that ere I had
They're sorry for my going away,
And of all the sweethearts that ere 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 I'll softly call
"Goodnight and joy be with you all!"

Oh, if I had money enough to spend
And leisure time to sit awhile
There is a fair maid in this town
That sorely has my heart beguiled
Her rosy cheeks and ruby lips
She alone has my heart in thrall
So fill me to the parting glass
Goodnight and joy be with you all

[caitlinbrewer]

This is the song I want played at my funeral

[Jerkfaceman]

I first heard this in assassin's creed black flag. It's a Great song for new years day!

[The_Republic_of_Ireland]

The finest irish song to ever be heard and sung when waking a close friend or loved one. Such a beautiful version, this. Fantastic as always Karliene

[Weskers_GF]

In a world without gold, we might have been heroes...

[DeathsHandshake]

This song hits me right in the heart. So close to home that I can't look away. Makes one think of what life and living is all about. Good night, and joy be with you all.

[boleebo]

This song describes how you were perfectly. You wouldn’t want tears or for us to grieve, but yet here I sit with tears in my eyes remembering you. You’re gone but you’ll never be forgetting. I love you Casie and I’m always going to miss your happy smile and go lucky outlook on life. You were a ray of light to all who knew you. Rest easy my friend I’ll see you on a better day!

[kiac.]

Whenever I hear this song I think of the Black Flag ending and have to do my best to not cry. Beautiful cover!

[SardonicEffigy]

Your voice is hauntingly beautiful, and I mean that as a compliment. Something about your voice is... Sad yet... Hopeful... I don't know how to put it... It sounds... Good. Im not very good at this. Happy new year and may 2019 continue to have your music. Its been a blessing.

[motterpack]

Almost went to sleep. So glad I didnt!! 😍😍😍

[sari]

Oh, this is lovely, Karliene, my favourite version of this since the Celtic Woman one

[harleyrobb]

One of my favorite tunes, continues to remind me why Irish music is so great. Loved this and look forward to hearing more, would love to hear Green Grow the Rushes as well.

[kilotun]

Irish lassies, brave, beautiful and strong. They were the backbone of the Empire. And when the Empire was gone, they were still there. Beautiful, brave and strong.

[Tokerpoker]

Heard this song on the walking dead and fell in love with it, you did an excellent job and your voice is one of an angle😊

[eukanuba]

this is by far the most beautiful version of this song i´ve ever listened to

[Vogelkinder]

Always loved this song since I heard it on "Waking Ned Devine".

[morganc]

I knew my artist's senses were tingling that someone else has created something while I write my novel. x3

Literally, you are all I listen to anymore, especially while I edit my novel. Your music and voice evokes so much emotion and inspiration from history, other stories and your own creativity, how could I not pull some of it into my own stories? :D Thank you so much for making great music!

[surtu]

Every time I hear the Parting Glass the lyrics make it seem to me someone is dying and saying their last goodbye at a big dinner being held in their honor because they're not going to make it, and instead of only being sad, it's also an occasion for joy and nostalgia.

[natanielbilboat]

Finally I've waited so long and I've finally gotten one of the songs I've wanted you to cover I miss hearing your lovely voice after not hearing it for a year ;) also if I may there is another song I would love to see you cover and that being "One of us" from the lion king 2 as well as Gallows from the recent For Honor game trailer if possible <3 <3 <3 <3 good fortunes and wealth to you dear


Ps. Thanks for helping put my cat to sleep I can finally rest lmao

[Thorsten]

Your singing is truly beautiful, you take me back to different and older times and sometimes even bring tears to my eyes, thank you.

[ZeethK]

I literally dreaded watching this because I knew how beautiful it would be and how many tisus I would end up needing.
