***The Parting Glass
from the CD5 version of Honky Tonk Women and Dirty Old Town single
The Parting Glass - as perfomed by The Pogues
[Verse 1]
Dm C
Of all the money that e'er I spent
Dm C
I've spent it in good company
Dm C
And all the harm that ever I did
Dm C Dm
Alas it was to none but me
F
And all I've done for want of wit
Gm F
To memory now I can't recall
Dm C
So fill to me the parting glass
Dm C Dm
Good night and joy be with you all
[Verse 2]
If I had money enough to spend
And leisure to sit awhile
There is a fair maid in the town
That sorely has my heart beguiled
Her rosy cheeks and ruby lips
I own she has my heart enthralled
So fill to me the parting glass
Good night and joy be with you all
[Verse 3]
Oh, 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'd 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 softly call
Good night and joy be with you all
***Version 2*** by Alex
