Paroles de The Parting Glass
I'm not a perfect manNot even a good man
But I'm not the sum of my mistakes
Or the sum of all the good things I have done
The truth lies somewhere between the two
But I am a man who has been loved well
Both by God and by his family
And I'm a grateful man
So friends
Walk slow
Go easy
And love well
Of all the money that I had
I spent it in good company
And all the harm I ever did
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 I had
They're sorry for my going away
And all the sweethearts that I had
They'd wish me one more day to stay I'll gently rise and softly call
Good night and joy be with you all
And I'm a grateful man
So friends
Walk slow
Go easy
And love well
Of all the money that I had
I spent it in good company
And all the harm I ever did
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 I had
They're sorry for my going away
And all the sweethearts that I had
They'd wish me one more day to stay I'll gently rise and softly call
Good night and joy be with you all
