The Parting Glass - wikipedia The Parting Glass Wikisource has original text related to this article : The Parting Glass `` The Parting Glass '' is a Scottish traditional song, often sung at the end of a gathering of friends. It was purportedly the most popular parting song sung in Scotland before Robert Burns wrote `` Auld Lang Syne ''. The song is particularly popular in Ireland and amongst Irish communities.

An early version is sometimes attributed to Sir Alex Boswell. The text is doubtless older than its 1770 appearance in broadside, as it was recorded in the Skene Manuscript, a collection of Scottish airs written at various dates between 1615 and 1635. It was known at least as early as 1605, when a portion of the first stanza was written in a farewell letter, as a poem now known as `` Armstrong 's Goodnight '', by one of the Border Reivers executed that year for the murder in 1600 of Sir John Carmichael, Warden of the Scottish West March. Exact lyrics vary between arrangements, but they include most, if not all, of the following stanzas appearing in different orders : The Parting Glass 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 mem'ry now I ca n'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 befall, And 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 unto my lot That I should rise and you should not I gently rise and softly call Good night and joy be to you all A man may drink and not be drunk A man may fight and not be slain A man may court a pretty girl And perhaps be welcomed back again But since it has so ought to be By a time to rise and a time to fall Come fill to me the parting glass Good night and joy be with you all Good night and joy be with you all Tune The earliest known appearance of the tune today associated with this text is as a fiddle tune called `` The Peacock '', included in James Aird 's A Selection of Scots, English, Irish and Foreign Airs, vol. 2 ( 1782 ). Patrick Weston Joyce, in his Old Irish Folk Music and Songs ( 1909 ), gives the tune with a different text under the name `` Sweet Cootehill Town, '' noting, `` The air seems to have been used indeed as a general farewell tune, so that -- from the words of another song of the same class -- it is often called ' Good night and joy be with you all. ' '' The celebrated Irish folk song collector Colm O Lochlainn has taken note of this identity of melodies between `` The Parting Glass '' and `` Sweet Cootehill Town ''. `` Sweet Cootehill Town '' is another traditional farewell song, this time involving a man leaving Ireland to go to America. The tune appeared, with sacred lyrics, in 19th century American tunebooks. `` Shouting Hymn '' in Jeremiah Ingalls 's Christian Harmony ( 1805 ) is a related tune. The tune achieved wider currency among shape note singers with its publication, associated with a text first known in the 1814 Collection of Hymns and Spiritual Songs, `` Come Now Ye Lovely Social Band '', in William Walker 's Southern Harmony ( 1835 ), and in The Sacred Harp ( 1844 ). This form of the song is still widely sung by Sacred Harp singers under the title `` Clamanda ''. Modern adaptations The song Restless Farewell written by Bob Dylan and featured on The Times They Are a-Changin ' from 1964 is heavily based on The Parting Glass. In 1998, the traditional words were set to a new, slightly different melody by Irish composer Shaun Davey. In 2002, he orchestrated this version for orchestra, choir, pipes, fiddle, and percussion to commemorate the opening of the Helix Concert Hall, Dublin, Ireland. Ed Sheeran did a cover as a hidden track at the end of the last song `` Give Me Love '' on his album +. Trey Anastasio Band started performing the song live in 2017.
