Alba s touto skladbou:
A Couple More Years,
Oh all the money that in my whole life I did spend
Be it mine right or wrongfully
I let it slip gladly to my friends
To tie up the time most forcefully
Well the bottles are done
We've killed each one
And the table's full and overflowed
And the corner sign
Says it's closing time
So I'll bid farewell and be down the road.
Of all the money that ever I had
I spent it in good company
And of all the harm that ever I done
Alas it was to none but me
And all I've done for want of width
To memory now I can't recall
So fill to me the parting glass
Good night and joy be with you all.
Oh ev'ry boy that ever l've touched
I did not do it harmfully
And ev'ry boy that ever I've hurt
I did not do it knowin'ly
But to remain as friends
You need the time to make a man and stay behind
And since my feet are now fast
And point away from the past
I'll bid farewell and be down the line.
If I had money enough to spend
And leisure time to sit a while
There is a fair maid in this town
That sorely has my heart beguiled
Her rosy cheeks, her ruby lips
By own she has my heart enthralled.
So fill to me the parting glass
Good night and joy be with you all.
Oh a false clock tries to tick out my time
To disgrace, distract, and bother me.
And the dirt of gossip blows into my face
And the dust of rumor covers me
But if the arrow is straight
And the point is slick
It can pierce through dust no matter how thick
So I'll make my stand
And remain as I am
And bid farewell and not give a damn.
Of all the comrades that ever I had
They are sorry at my going away
And of all the sweethearts that ever I had
They would wish me one more day to stay
But since it falls unto my lot
That I should rise and you should not
I gently rise and I softly call
Good night and joy be with you all
Of all the money that ever I had
I spent it in good company
And of all the harm that ever I've done
Alas it was to none but me
And all I've done for want of width
To memory now I can't recall
So fill to me the parting glass
Good night and joy be with you all.
