The Parting Glass (Traditional Scottish Folk Song) (A cappella)

 

This evening, I did a livestream and live living room session. My song of choice was the traditional Scottish song (which is also quite popular in Ireland), The Parting Glass. I have performed this song before, once in a previous living room session with Chuck Owston, and I've also performed it live, both in my own shows as well as well as with the Wayward Companions. And since I've been hinting at a new surprise recording coming up, a version of this song just might be appearing on it. We'll see... Until then, hope you in enjoy this (sort of) impromptu living room session!

 

LYRICS:

Of all the money that e'er I had 

 I spent it in good company 

And all the harm I've ever 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

Good night and joy be to you all

So fill to me the parting glass 

And drink a health whate'er befalls 

Then gently rise and softly call 

Good night and joy be to 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'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 softly call 

Good night and joy be to you all 

Fill to me the parting glass

And drink a health whate'er befalls

Then gently rise and softly call 

Good night and joy be to you all

 

******* Thanks for watching! Go on a musical adventure with me through time where for five days I'll send you a new song or story, and a personal email from me!
