Happy St. Patrick's Day!

The Parting Glass
The Dubliners

Of all the money that e'er I spent
I've spent it in good company
And all the harm that ever I did
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
If I had money enough to spend
And leisure to sit awhile
There is a fair maid in the 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
Oh, 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

10. We sang this in third grade to celebrate St. Patrick's Day

Oh, McGinty is dead and McCarthy don't know it
McCarthy is dead and McGinty don't know it
They're both of them dead and they're in the same bed
And neither one knows that the other one's dead

Or maybe that's not the sort of song you're talking about
