RE: [Paddlewise] Sad day

The Irish have a way with these things:

Oh, all the money that ere I spent,
I spent it in good company.
And all the harm that I ever 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.

Oh, all the comrades that ere I had,
They're sorry for my going away.
And all the sweethearts that ere I had,
They 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."
