Best Damned Goodbye I've Ever Heard

[Kennedy 0]

Two guys were on stage at an Irish bar, and they closed out the night with this, followed by "god bless, we'll see you the next time." I thought it was the best damned closing I've ever heard. Just wanted to share, and maybe see what every one else thought. It made me think of saying goodbye any given night at the dz.

It's called "The Parting Glass," by nobody has any idea who.

Quote

of all the money the e'er I've spent
I have spent it in good company

and of all the harm that e'er I've done
alas it was to none but me

and all I have done for want of wit
to memory now I can't recall

so fill to me the parting glass
good night and joy be with you all



of all the comrades e'er I had
they are sorry at my going away

of all the sweethearts that ere I had
they'd wished 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 with you all

so drink with me the parting glass
good night and joy be with you all

witty subliminal message
Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards.
