    My brother-in-law died recently. He was born in Ireland, but came to New Zealand with his family when he was 12 years old.
    My 23 year old granddaughter said she'd like to sing at funeral. She found this song, The Parting Glass, learnt it in a few days, and sang it fantastically at the funeral.

    My old Dad was born in Wexford, 1911. He loved this song and sang it at many family 'Get togethers' . He sadly passed 40 years ago, here in Australia, but every birthday we play this for him.

    Just came from living on the Lakota Reservation in South Dakota. When I heard the Lakota songs and sang along to simple one, I felt a connection with the earth. We need to know the real history of how we were derooted and recover our roots. This is special.

    This made me tear up. English is not my native tongue, but the feeling in the singing and choir made me think of friends I've lost and reminded me of how short life is. You should tell your friend how you fell about him/her. Life is a precious and delicate thing we take for granted :hearts:

    Sang this for my father at his wake (body still in the room where he passed away) with only the immediate family & 1 older lovely Irish friend home. I'd played this video for him months before and he proclaimed "you can sing this; referring to my vocal register & encouraged me to learn it. He was 85 & we never once had a drink together & I finally did while we trusted that he was still in the room with us lingering. He knew that I would "kill to have this sweet tenor's voice." Good bless us all including the UCD Scholars.

Thanx for it to all, who performed it so beautifully. And to Mister Waters. You, young man, are a extraordinary singer! Stay on this road. Bring happiness or deep feelings to the people in the world. Whether they like. For me... Well, I I hope a friend of mine keeps the promise and this song in exactly this version is gonna be played at my funeral

    The song, The Parting Glass, is one of the finest traditional songs out there. This is the finest version I have ever heard of it. Fair play to all involved, the most of which, are of the age where they could have focused on more modern and popularly recognised songs.
    God Bless
    and success be with you all:)

    LYRICS:
    Of all the money that e'er I had, I 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. Goodnight and joy be with 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 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 gently rise and I'll softly call, "Goodnight 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 ordered been 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

    It was originally written in Scotland, prior to 1605 and was called Armstrong's Goodnight. It was the most popular closing night song or tune in Scotland until Robert Burn's Auld Lang Syne. It is a shared tune of the Irish and Scots, and loved by all.....
