This is the second in my 1916/2016 series. The Parting Glass takes it's melody from a 1782 tune called "The Peacock'.
This beautiful Irish ballad has been covered by artists such as Ed Sheeran, The Clancy Brothers, Sinead O'Connor, The High Kings and many others. It even featured on an episode of AMC's The Walking Dead.
Thanks for listening. Hope you enjoy.

Parting Glass is one of my favorite songs. You played it so incandescently. It's mesmerizing.

Hi Paul,
I hope you do not mind my listing this new lyric on your comments ? The truth is I wanted to write this lyric but found so many versions here on youtube wandered off or added notes. But Not Yourself, I found your version Clear and Pure ~~~~~~ so made the lyrics that bit easier.
Thanks Again, Best Jamie.
Lyrics look great. Thanks for adding them
@@paulfaganpianist Thank You Paul, Best, Jamie
That’s really good. Wish I could play it
Thanks Mario. A little time and persistence and you would be able to!
this is excellent!
Glad you thought so
I am also a great fan of this tune, and the piano version is very good. The first time I heard this song was, I believe decades ago in Minneapolis at a Claudia Schmidt concert at the Cafe Extemp, which dates me I guess. And of course I am sure she got it from an older recording and there have been versions going back many years. It makes the rounds. I think William Coulter plays it very well on the guitar, and I think as well Celtic Woman plays it or Lareen McKennitt, and many others of course. A review of youtube would surely turn up many other good versions.
Beautiful!
Thanks!
@@paulfaganpianist we just saw this song in Slumberland and my 9 year old daughter now wants me to teach her to play it lol... guess I gotta teach myself first
@@nicolemorales9357 ah that's interesting. I wasn't aware of that movie until you mentioned. Enjoy learning it, it's a beaut.
@@paulfaganpianist it's a new movie just uploaded on Netflix :) Check it out... the song plays a big part in the movie... that's what brought me to your video. Such a beautiful piece, I had never heard it before!
This is beautifully played! You are so talented! Is there anyway you could put up the sheet music for this? I've been looking around and this is best version I found. I would be willing to pay a lot for this piece. There is so much soul in it!
Thanks very much for your kind words. Glad you liked. Sheet music on the way in the next couple of weeks. I'll report back here when it's up 🙂
Hi Collette, sheets are now up in the description.

Thank you. Hope you enjoy it
@@paulfaganpianist thank you
I am just finishing my grade 4 RIAM Exam at 47 years old😊 Late starter.
I want a break from exams and this will be the first piece I learn outside of the classical RIAM stuff.
I really hope I will be able for it as I love it
This is super compelling! I hate to keep asking, but do you have sheet music for this one too?
+Nicole Sprecacenere Hi Nicole, thanks for the feedback. I don't have any music written up for this one but if and when I do, I'll let you know. Thanks for the support.
Hi Nicole, the sheets are now linked in the description.
This is so amazing! Is there any sheet music?
Hi Serena, sheets are now up in the description.
Don't forget the most haunting rendition... Played in the key of Freddie White.
Muito muito muito excelente
Muito obrigado 🙂
Of all the money that e'er I spent
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, of all the comrades that e'er I had
They're sorry for my going away
And of 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 I softly call
Good night and joy be with 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 enthralled
So fill to me the parting glass
Good night and joy be with you all
I play this on whistle, and i go to play it in piano, but i cant figure out how to ornament it with chords.
How do you figure out what chords do you play with the melody
So first I recognise that the melody follows a key..C minor (Aeolian mode but not as important). The notes of the scale are C D Eb F G Ab Bb. So now I'm going to build chords out of each note of the scale in turn. C (C Eb G), D (D F Ab), Eb (Eb G Bb) see the pattern? Now in this song, it turns out that chords based on C, Ab, Eb and Bb (from my scale) sound like a natural fit with the flow of the melody. How do I know? Because they sound good. How do I know where to place them? My ear just tells me. Trial and error with this and every song until you just become used to picking out chords. But knowing what the key is in the first place is crucial.
Thank you so much I love it
I'm glad you like it. Thanks for commenting
How do you achieve that constant drone sound?
Thanks for asking. At the time of recording, I had a Roland RD800 stage piano and it had the ability to layer strings on just the region of the piano I wanted. So I my left hand played piano and strings and right just piano.
Hi🙌great piece. What key is it in?
Thanks for your comment! It's in C Aeolian Mode which means that the scale is C, D, Eb, F, G, Ab, Bb, also known as C natural minor.
A MODERN LYRIC SET TO THIS TIMELESS MUSIC.
A DREAM
LAST NIGHT I DREAMED A DREAM SO REAL
THAT TRUTH AS LOVE IN LIFE SHOULD BE
SO FILL THIS WORLD WITH LIGHT WITH HOPE
THAT PEACE ON EARTH AT LAST SHALL BE
SO IN THAT DREAM I FLEW AS A CLOUD
MOVED IN THE WINDS AS FREE AS AIR
THE SUN, MOON, STARS SHONE AS EVER STILL
ALL CREATION THERE IN LOVE TO SHARE
SO AS I WANDERED ON THRU THAT DREAM
I KNEW A TRUTH A SECRET TRUTH FOR ALL
THAT CREATION COMES FROM ONLY LOVE
THAT EVILS MIGHT MUST EVER FALL
BEYOND ALL DOUBT I KNEW THAT LOVE
IS WHERE THE SOUL COMES SAFELY HOME
THERE EACH OF US WILL FIND LOVES TRUTH
THEN KNOW IT WAS NO DREAM AT ALL
LAST NIGHT I DREAMED A DREAM SO REAL
THAT TRUTH AS LOVE IN LIFE SHOULD BE
SO FILL THIS WORLD WITH LIGHT WITH HOPE
THAT PEACE ON EARTH AT LAST SHALL BE
THAT EACH OF US WILL FIND LOVES TRUTH
THEN KNOW IT WAS NO DREAM AT ALL
LAST NIGHT I DREAMED A DREAM SO REAL
NOW I KNOW IT WAS NO DREAM AT ALL
LAST NIGHT I DREAMED A DREAM SO REAL
NOW I KNOW IT WAS ~~~~~~ NO DREAM AT ALL.

Thanks a lot!
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
(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 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'll gently rise and softly call
Good night and joy be to you all
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
Bob Dylan used this melody for one of his early songs.
Is this where ed Sheeran got inspiration for i see fire?
I don't know but that sounds intriguing.
Amazing!
Thanks!
This is so amazing! Is there any sheet music?
