It's grand to see old friends again
As we come rambling through
And talk about the times
We've had and raise a glass or two
For when we are together off on memories we recall
And long will I remember your kindness to us all
Farewell to you I bid adieu
I can no longer stay
For the night has gone
And now's the hour to go our separate ways
It's time to pass the parting glass
And toast to company
Good luck and joy be with you all
Wherever you may be
Long have we been comrades and true friends since
First we've met
And never has an angry word passed between us yet
Many's the night we've laughed
And sung until the break of day
And fondly will I think on you
When I am far away
Farewell to you I bid adieu
I can no longer stay
For the night has gone
And now's the hour to go our separate ways
It's time to pass the parting glass
And toast to company
Good luck and joy be with you all
Wherever you may be
It's sad I am for leaving but the best of friends must part
I'm going to a foreign shore although it grieves my heart
We'll put our trust in providence that soon we'll meet again
I wish you health and happiness
Good fortune until then
Farewell to you I bid adieu
I can no longer stay
For the night has gone and now's the hour to go our separate ways
It's time to pass the parting glass and toast to company
Good luck and joy be with you all wherever you may be
And when I'm on some foreign shore far across the sea
I'll keep you close beside me
You'll be in my memory
And when the stormy winds do blow
And hard times win the day
Our laughter and our friendship
Sure will clear the clouds away
Farewell to you I bid adieu
I can no longer stay
For the night has gone
And now's the hour to go our separate ways
It's time to pass the parting glass
And toast to company
Good luck and joy be with you all
Wherever you may be
Farewell to you
I bid adieu
I can no longer stay
For the night has gone
And now's the hour to go our separate ways
It's time to pass the parting glass
And toast to company
Good luck and joy be with you all
Wherever you may be
