Dubliners, The - The Parting Glass Lyrics

God bless you, man.

Lyrics please

This is an Irishman's version of Sinatra's My Way.

I love you dad, may you rest in peace. I miss you so much, there is nothing I can type to express my feelings. I dont believe I'm awake right now. Please watch over me, I saw your shooting star when talking to your brother. I know you're up there. We all love you... 11/9/19

1:37 Gaybo and Ronnie having a great ol laugh. Two of the greats. Sleep well gentleman

anyone from india here?

A remarkable song.

Had the pleasure and the honor to play and tour with him throughout Italy more than 20 years ago, together with piano player Antonio Breschi. I found out a real gentleman and a giant artist. It was a pleasure to talk with him, he was also a great storyteller. I will always keep those moments in my heart. Thank you so much Ronnie!

Ronnie's is the definitive version!

What a song RIP BIG MAN

This song is about dying and and old fashioned wake were after the women cleaned the body and dressed it they put a glass in the dearly departed"s hand. That corredt?

hey ron . JUST B4 YE GO we march 4ward n just a 4 ye go we march on .still you go on ..............

I'm a yank, but I grew up on Ronnie, Luke, Ciarán and the gang. Grew up on Dubs music, Frank Harte, Ewan McColl, AL Lloyd, Christie Moore, Hank Williams, and lots of old-time country.

Miss all these fellas, so much. Luke and Ronnie especially, then most recently we lost Eamonn Campbell, underrated later member of the group. Many people don't even know that it was because of Eamonn that the Dubliners saw a resurgence in their music during the 1980s with their collaboration with the Pogues and Shane Macgowan. God rest all your souls, gentlemen. Memory Eternal

No one can sing the parting glass like Ronnie drew

You don't miss someone until let they are gone the Dublin ers will be missed

Im 35 from Catalonia, just glad to discovered him and the Dubliners several years ago! His legacy is alive through generations all over the world 🍀🇮🇪✊️

Ronnie was a true dub , He grew up on the tough mean streets of dun laoghaire

My Grandfather knew Ronnie very well and he told me many a story about him

R.I.P Ronnie Drew
Gone but never forgotten

Τεράστιος.

A nice mandolin accompaniment on this. Is that Banjo Barney yet again doing the plucking? Presumingly it' s John S on tin whistle...

Played at my Father's funeral, almost ironic how it represented his actual life. He was a master musician himself and a big fan of the Dubliners. Brings a lump to my throat

If I ever passaway don't sing this song.

Centuries of Irish history culminated in the birth of artists such as Ronnie Drew; it makes you think, that perhaps all that history, the good and the bad alike, were worth something after all.

My favourite Irish song, will be played at my demise, and fuck em all

I am from Serbia and I am 25, and since I ve first heard Ronnie and Luke i couldnt stop listen to them..When I listen to this I feel sadness because of they had to die, When i listen to this I feel like a huge rock squashes my heart...So sad, im 200% into this, i feel every word..Love Ireland

greetings from ireland to serbian brother

I proudly Declare you an Honorary fellow Irishman.

Nikola, listen to a song called Ar Eirinn Ni Neosainn Ce Hi by Liam Clancy. He also dose a fantastic version of The Parting Glass

You might have been Irish in your last lifetime.

RIP Da 7/2/80

right in the "underbelly" ! i love it!

I think I love this man

I'm from crumlin in south Dublin. Our music culture is almost biblical.... A True heart speaks no lies. Rest in peace rebel ballad hero...

rip kieran whyte

im an alcoholic, no harm but to me, speaks to me

Of all the money that e'er I had
I've spent it in good company
And all the harm that ever I 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 with you all

Oh, and 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'll gently rise and softly call
Good night and joy be with you all

Oh, if I had money enough to spend
And leisure 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 enthralled
So fill to me the parting glass
Good night and joy be with you

It's a song of goodbye.its a song for loved ones who have passed.it could be family or friends . anything . absent love ones.

I want to whisper this to my loved ones with my last breaths, when the times does come 💚. Good night and joy be with you all 😊

HB and RIP Dad. 5/14/21-- 7/2/80

Im a slav, born in eastern europe, my granfather enjoyed irish tunes, he was a hardy man working for most of his life so my mother and me can attend college and get the easy life, never will I forget that man, with his records he brought me joy, even if he didn't understand the lyrics at all, the strongest and most caring man I've ever known, remembered each time I listen

Isten nyugosztalja!

Ronnie był niasamowity!

so fill to me the parting glass
good night and joy be with you all
of all the friend that ever i had
they are sorry of my going away

Whoever voted down on this is a sad lonely bastard

Now that is a special gem of a tune ❤

Pure class

People like Ronnie and Luke came down to earth for a while and then returned to home. There must be some mighty sessions going on up there behind the clouds in fiddlers green

For our mam RIP

A Scottish air sang by a fine singer.

Beautiful song

Up Dublin. Westmeath

Ronnie drew a legend top class song from a top class man no 1 up ta Ronnie boy

I'm a Dubliner, out in Swords town. Maybe i'm old fashioned, traditionalist, but Ronnie and the old crew, represent a face of Dublin I no longer recognise. If I want to see Ireland, real Ireland, I go to the west. I'll always be a Dubliner, but my city has evolved too fast for me, so much it doesn't sometimes even feel like Ireland.

You're not wrong brother

Same as London and Glasgow and Paris? Tis a damn shame!

Up there in the fiddlers green

...a song for Ourland.

He was so young😍

Never will there be another voice like Joseph "Ronnie" Drew. I grew up listening to the tales in the gruff Irish voice, god I miss this man! RIP Ronnie you legend!

Tiocfaidh ar lá

good night and joy be too you all

what a legend

There was something about Ronnie, something more than the incredible voice, the phrasing and timing. Do you see those eyes? I fell in love with the music of the Dubliners when I listened to my fathers copies of their records in the 60's and even then I felt there was something very special about Ronnie and his voice. I sensed that he was somehow the soul of the group. In the photos of the band on my favourite of those records, Ronnie looks wonderfully drunk. There's something about a man who isn't really bothered about turning up completely three sheets to the wind to a photo shoot that just says it all. Let the music speak, that the proof.

So true and beautifull, just lost my girl, from cancer, and this song makes me cry and smile.

The EU UN all Zionist media, tech companies, NGOs and borderless charities must be disbanded for Ireland to keep it's European cultural heritage identity and have a peaceful future for our children.

It's it just me or did Shane tell the photographer to fuck off at the start lol

Armstrongs Goodnight

I am Finnish and never even visited Ireland, but I think Ronnie Drew must have been the most charismatic performer of folk music of all time. A truly larger than life personality.

god bless Ronnie Drew

I know he has passed, but he will never be gone.

10 years ago he went to some more hospitable inn... it's people like Ronnie that make me believe in heaven, in an endless great gig in the sky... where the girls are all pretty, the beer is free and there's bottles of rum growing on every tree... until we meet in person, I will cherish everything that Ronnie and his fine group left behind, so that their spirits live on! Sláinte!

The mans eyes could pierce concrete.

the lyrics ARE my old man.

Just genius!!!

Ar dheis Dè go raibh a anam dìlis

Thanks for sharing this gem. Some man.

Goosebumps

Of all the money that e'er I had
I've 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'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 with you all


Of all the friends that e'er I had
They are sorry at my going away
And of all the sweethearts that e'er I had
They would wish me one more day to stay
But since it falls unto my lot
That I should rise and you should not
I'll softly rise and I'll gently call
Good night and joy be with you all


 If I had money enough to spend
And leisure time to sits 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 enthralled
So 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)

I always wanted to look like Ronnie when I was growing up, the only thing wrong was I was larl n fat n bald. Rest in peace you big handsome bastard, and remember too keep a foot free to tap out a song on the big man's floor.

One off the greatest!

Cheers to all! 🍻🍻

RIP Grandpa. Get the porter in <3

Black beards reincarnation

why are 99 people giving this video a thumbs down when it's a tribute to a great performer?

99 people are idiots? I guess some find it necessary to be contrary. That's a shame, considering he truly was a great performer. SMH

Because different persons have been blessed with a greatly varying degree of intellectual and aesthetic faculties. For instance some appreciate Hip Hop music while others enjoy enjoy Arnold Schönberg's string quartets or Erik Satie's piano pieces. People are different.

It's up to 124 now. Wankers.

Some people have no soul.

what a voice love him still do

REST IN PEACE RONNY - A GREAT MAN.

RIP my grandfather 3-3-2018

A true man of Ireland. A true voice. A man of good ethics. We'll never see the like of these Dubliners. They're from the old world.

The wonderful Dubliners. That's where Ireland 's heart is and always will be. Goodnight and joy be with them always.
