Joe Offer	Parting songs (144* d)	Lyr Add: THE PARTING GLASS (Judy Goodenough)	23 Dec 98
Rob, that song you posted is on the 1998 Gordon Bok album, Gatherings. Bok says it was written by the late Judy Goodenough, who has been discussed in other threads here recently. Here are the lyrics from the CD booklet, just a bit different from your rendering The Parting Glass © J.B. Goodenough The fire is out, the moon is down The parting glass is dry and done And I must go and leave this town Before the rising of the sun Long's the road, and many's the mile Before I rest my soul again With girls that weep and girls that smile At all the words and ways of men And some there are who may not bide But wander ‘til their journey's end Or take a girl to be a bride Or keep a man to be a friend When I'm done with wandering I will sit beside the road and weep For all the songs I did not sing And promises I did not keep JRO/Joe Offer See the note at the end of the previous post. -JoeClone 20-Feb-2001.
