about

So this is how it feels to get old. A spin on the traditional "Parting Glass" but one who plans on coffin dodging until you fork over some drinking money.
Cheers!

lyrics

Help me to the bar
And hand me a glass
Take your time to pour
For I fear it's my last

A drink firm in hand
Surrounded by cheers
But before I go
One more round of beer

Pass me the last round
I'm ready to go
I'll miss you much more
Than you'll ever know

My time here is brief
But before I rise
One more round with you
It's your turn to buy

So hand me my last round
Before I leave
Slide me some coin me boy and give a cheer
Let's have another beer
And shed no tear

So glad you could come
No tears should you cry
Instead raise a pint
As we say goodbye

Let's drink to the past
Of love and good cheer
To family and friends
And all we hold dear

And to every lass
The fondest adeiu
You'll never miss me
As much I will you

As I reach the end
And empty my cup
If you'll buy this round
I'll fill it back up

So pass me the last round
Before I go
Play me a tune for soon I'm
leaving you
Let's drink to joyful sounds with my last round

I look 'round the room
See faces so dear
Brings me so much joy
Seeing all of you here

It's time for last call
We drank the pub dry
You're a Johnny 2-pint
I'm not gonna lie

When I'm in me grave
All covered in grass
Make sure I'm face down
Tell the world kiss my ass

My time here is done
But before I go
Pour me one last round
One more for the road

So pour out my last round
When I am gone
Raise your voice strong in song and
Sing along
And fertilize the ground
With my last round

So pass me the last round
Before I go
Play me a tune for soon I'm
leaving you
Let's drink to joyful sounds with my last round
