"The Parting Glass" er en traditionel skotsk folkesang, der ofte bliver sunget som den sidste ved sociale begivenheder. Den er også blevet sunget i Irland, hvor den har oplevet stor popularitet, og som også har haft indflydelse på, hvordan den bliver sunget. Det var angiveligt den mest populære afskedssang, der blev sunger i Skotland inden Robert Burns skrev "Auld Lang Syne".
Tekst Teksten variere lidt, men lyder generelt som følger:
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
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 falls 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
If I had money enough to spend And leisure time to sit awhile There is a fair maid in this town That sorely has my heart beguiled. Her rosy cheeks and ruby lips I own she has my heart in thrall Then fill to me the parting glass Good night and joy be with 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
