The Parting Glass



1. 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 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 befall
And gently rise and softly call
Good night and joy be to you all


2. 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


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

Bob Dylan made no secret that he plagiarized freely: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lp2Qr498hdE

I believe it was Roland Kirk who said to Miles after being accused of copying stuff, obviously a joke. Amateurs copy stuff, us pros just steal it.
