For the first round of this Hive music festival I want to play you guys a song that means alot to me.It is a traditional Scottish Folk song called The Parting Glass which is traditionally played in the early hours of the morning when a pub/bar is closing.

"The Parting Glass"

Of all the money that ever I spent
I've spent it in good company
And all the harm that ever 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 friends that ever 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

And so 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
Come fill to me the parting glass
Good night and joy be with you all
