The final game happens to us all. We will miss our teammates in the game of football and fondly think of them many a times in the future. This song speaks to that.
“The Parting Glass”
Of all the money that ever I had
I’ve spent it in good company
And all the harm that ever I’ve done
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
Good night and joy be to you all
Chorus: So fill to me the parting glass And drink a health whate’er befalls Then gently rise and softly call “Good night and joy be to you all”
Of all the comrades that ever I had
They are sorry for my going away
And all the sweethearts that ever I had
They 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 I’ll softly call
Good night and joy be to you all
Chorus: So fill to me the parting glass And drink a health whate’er befalls Then gently rise and softly call “Good night and joy be to you all”
Chorus: So fill to me the parting glass And drink a health whate’er befalls Then gently rise and softly call “Good night and joy be to you all”
