Beth and Maggie's Song

"The Parting Glass","Armstrong's Goodnight"

The Walking Dead's Folk song as sung by Beth and Maggie during the group's first night outside the prison.

Of all the money ever I had,
I spent it in good company.
And all the harm 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.

Chorus:

So fill to me the parting glass
And drink a health whatever befalls
Then gently rise and softly call
"Good night and joy be to you all"
Oh, all the comrades e'er I had,
They're sorry for my going away,
And all the sweethearts 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 softly call,
Good night and joy be with you all.

Chorus:

So fill to me the parting glass
And drink a health whatever befalls
Then gently rise and softly call
"Good night and joy be to 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 in thrall,
Then fill to me the parting glass,
Good night and joy be with you all.
