Title: The Parting Glass Post by: folderol on January 17, 2016, 05:23:00 PM Mark Bennett posted an acapella of a traditional irish song on soundcloud inviting people to collaborate. This my take on it.
It's small enough for both download options :) Of all the money that e'er I had I have spent it in good company And 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 comrades that e'er I had They are 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 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 Title: Re: The Parting Glass Post by: offthewall on January 17, 2016, 09:42:20 PM Lovely stuff Will.

Title: Re: The Parting Glass Post by: folderol on January 18, 2016, 05:31:38 PM Thanks a lot guys. Mark's singing was extremely easy to work with. I just let the atmoshphere he created drive my additions.
