🌸 Lyrics: Sparrow (G. Gothard)
A little sparrow sings a tune all on the wharf in June
The waves and wind of salty air warm him as he's there
But this poor sparrow's in a trap, he fluffs and chirps and sighs
A rope has fallen on him there on the shores of the great Atlantic

Sparrow fly away
Sparrow fly away
Sparrow fly away, fly away

A rope lifts up and freedom comes by way of the gruff old man
He lifts poor sparrow to his eye and to him he does say
You will fly away now, away from salty shore
Take your wings and fly my dear to your home up in the sky

Sparrow fly away
Sparrow fly away
Sparrow fly away, fly away - fly away

🌸 Lyrics: The Parting Glass (Traditional)
Of all the money that e're I've had, I've spent it in good company
And of all the harm that e're 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
Good night and joy be with you all

Of all the comrades that e're I've had, they're sorry for my going away
And of all the sweethearts that e're I've had, they'd wish me one more day to stay
But since it fell into 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

Chorus
So fill to me the parting glass and drink a health what e're befalls
And gently rise and softly call - good night and joy be with you all
