IRISHJOHN's blog: "IRISH WORKS"

OH, ALL MONEY THAT E'RE I SPEND

I SPEND IT IN GOOD COMPENY

AND ALL THE HARM THAT E'RE I'VE DONE

ALAS, IT WAS TO NONE BUT ME.

AND ALL I'VE DONE FOR WANT OF WIT

TO MEMRY NOW I CAN'T RECALL,

SO FILL TO ME THE PARTING GLASS,

GOOD NIGHT AND JOY BE WITH YOU ALL.

OH, ALL THE COMRADES THAT E'ER I HAD,

ARE SORRY FOR MY GOING AWAY,

AND ALL THE SWEET-HEARTS

THAT E'ER I HAD 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 SOFTLY CALL

"GOOD NIGHT,AND JOY BE WITH YOU ALL."
