The Parting Glass


Of all the money that ere I had, I spent it in good company.
And of all the harm that ere I've done, alas was done to none but me.
And all I've done for want of wit, to memory now I cannot recall.
So fill me to the parting glass. Goodnight and joy be with you all.

Of all the comrades that ere I had, they're sorry for my going away,
And of all the sweethearts that ere I had , they wish me one more day to stay,
But since it falls unto my lot that I should rise while you should not,
I will gently rise and I'll softly call, "Goodnight and joy be with you all!"

The site hasn't been updated recently, because I am in the process of moving "The Donegal Express" to its very own site. It'll be with Wordpress to boot!

Please stay tuned for the new site announcement. I'll make that once all the old posts are properly archived over there, and all my little bells and whistles are set.
