the song you sing the night before a battle, with all of your comrades having what could be your last drink with them all.

"The Parting Glass" is an Irish, Scottish and Newfoundland traditional song, often sung at the end of a gathering of friends. It was allegedly the most popular song sung in Newfoundland, Scotland and Ireland before Robert Burns wrote "Auld Lang Syne".This song has a dual heritage as some of the lyrics were quoted in a letter by a Scottish man who was making his way over to Ireland; around this time there were many Scottish settlers arriving in Ireland and so the song was then combined with both cultures.The Irish song is thoughtful and quiet, though the old Scottish version, "Good Night and Joy Be With You All," is quite lively and uses roughly the same melody, an old type of tune called the Scots Measure.The celebrated Irish folk song collector Colm O Lochlainn pointed out that "The Parting Glass" shares its melody with "Sweet Cootehill Town". This is another traditional farewell song, this time involving a man leaving Ireland to go to America.HistoryThe song was printed as a broadside in the 1770s, and first appeared in book form in "Scots Songs" by Herd. An early version of the song is sometimes attributed to Sir Alex Boswell. The Irish version is usually considered more suitable for modern listeners[by whom?]. It is also the song that the Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem would often sing to finish off their concerts.The song is doubtless older than its 1770 appearance in broadside, as it was recorded in the Skene Manuscript, a collection of Scottish airs written at various dates between 1615 and 1635. It was known at least as early as 1605, when a portion of the first stanza was written in a farewell letter, as a poem now known as "Armstrong's Goodnight", by one of the Border Reivers executed that year for the murder in 1600 of Sir John Carmichael, Warden of the Scottish West March.In 1998, the traditional words were set to a new, original melody by Irish composer, Shaun Davey, with a revised title; "Fill to Me the Parting Glass". In 2002, he orchestrated this version for orchestra, choir, pipes, fiddle, and percussion to commemorate the opening of the Helix concert hall, DCU, Dublin, Ireland.1959 – The Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem Tradition Records Come Fill Your Glass with Us1979 – Ronnie Drew performed the song on The Dubliners' album Together Again1985 – The Pogues released it as a single. It appeared on their 2004 re-release of Rum, Sodomy, and the Lash1998 – Steeleye Span recorded the song on Horkstow Grange1998 – Liam O'Maonlai and The Voice Squad recorded a version with an original melody by Shaun Davey for the closing titles of the movie Waking Ned Devine2002 – Sinéad O'Connor recorded the song on Sean-Nós Nua2003 – The Tossers recorded the song as a hidden track on their album Purgatory2004 – The Wailin' Jennys recorded the song on their debut album 40 Days.2007 – Mark Seymour recorded a version on his album Titanic2008 – The Holy Sea released the song on their album A Beginner's Guide to the Sea2008 – The High Kings released a version of the song in 20082010 – Loreena McKennitt recorded the song for her The Wind That Shakes the Barley album of traditional Celtic songs.2011 – Celtic Woman performed it as their finale for Believe which was filmed for PBS and DVD release.2011 – Ed Sheeran adds his cover of "Parting Glass" in his album "+".

Just love the High Kings (they are my favorite band and unlike most singers today Irish bands don't use auto tune), they played this last when I saw them live and I felt like getting up and hugging them.

The people who comment about this song have no idea what traditional music is about at all, much less Celtic traditional music. This is a melancholic song about life's joys and sorrows, not death.
