For the ladies and friends on the road

Going Away

The Tossers

I'm going away but I promise to return some day

But if I don't, I promise to remember you

And let us share a drink so that we can remember

The way things were when friends were here together

'Cause our lives are made of memories

And they're all we can take with us

When we leave this place we're in

And as you travel through this world

May your path be long and stony

And may it lead to the most amazing view

'Cause I'm going away but I promise to return some day

But if I don't, I promise to remember you

And let us share a drink so that we can remember

The way things were when friends were here together

I'm going away but I promise to return some day

But if I don't, I promise to remember you

And as you nurse your glass of whiskey

And look out onto the skyline

Think of me and remember the way we were

I'm going away but I promise to return some day

But if I don't, I promise to remember you

And let us share a drink so that we can remember

The way things were when friends were here together

The Parting Glass

The Irish song

Of all the money e'er 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.

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.

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.
