Lyrics:
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
But the bottles are done
We’ve killed each one
And the table’s full and overflowed
And the corner sign
Says it’s closin' time
So I’ll bid farewell and be down the road

[@aidankeane8971]

So fill to me, the parting glass. Good night and joy be with you all

[@Alamoosook1952]

Apparently, it wasn't lost on you that he ripped off Parting Glass! Seems like most people are not aware! :-)

[@stephenhorgan7110]

@@Alamoosook1952 wouldn't say ripped off it's clearly inspired by the song he's just adapted the lyrics to suit American audiences, if anything it pays homage to The Parting Glass

[@patriciathewisher2315]

Incredible how such a young man with a voice many denied was singing could keep on keeping on. He made our private world's public yet succeeded in keeping his private world away from the public. He possessed a wisdom and an ability to understand what was around him that ppl of seventy at the time could not see. I'm tipsy now on v v v cheap but ok cider so hope am making some sorta sense. I've loved him since I was sweet sixteen

Great:)

[@themarlboromandalorian]

You make a most eloquent case, young lady.

[@Miketron-ld2pu]

He had more to say than could be silenced.

[@burtbloom4794]

Dylan based this song on the centuries old Scottish, later Irish, "The Parting Glass", a version of which he learned from the Clancy Brothers, thus continuing the folk process.

[@jwylde2]

Actually Irish musicians even now still sing the "Parting Glass" instead of "Auld Lang Syne"

[@ThePowerpointMaster]

One of my favourite mondegreen (hearing different words) is in this song "And all the battles are done, we've killed each one" but he says bottles not battles, I think it's really powerful with the word battles.

[@mattfirn3547]

Thanks for this comment. I've been looking for the technical word for hearing different words in a song. I would have to say my favourite mondegreen is probably from American Pie, but a huge amount of my experience with the phenomenon is from Dylan

[@nicholasskroumbelos6842]

Brother Bob Youve done so much for us all. Thank you.

[@HelianaSuper]

What a wonderful song! I love this young Bob and his harmonica and his sweet voice and acoustic guitar.💖

This is Bob Dylan's "Parting Glass". Great lyrics

[@ramonbernausesteve2991]

La mayoría de sus canciones son profundas. Y su voz ayuda aumentar el interés de escucharlas. Todavía tenemos la suerte de poder disfrutarlo en vivo.

[@sunnavailable]

I bought this album when it came out. It still remains my favorite Dylan album. I know all the words; it helps watching Dylan live.

[@marie-cruzmartinez1696]

J'aime beaucoup cet album. Le poète chante par nécessité, mais jamais pour lui seul. Il clame haut et fort la beauté et l'horreur. Merci

[@frankrusselldesign7563]

Wondefull strange song, until I just realised after years of singing The Parting Glass that this is based on that song. Brilliant non the less.

[@ingenuitas]

This song owes a lot to "The Parting Glass"

[@juancamacho5746]

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 But 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 Oh, ev'ry girl that ever I've touched I did not do it harmfully And ev'ry girl that ever I've hurt I did not do it knowin'ly But to remain as friends You need the time to make amends 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 Oh, ev'ry foe that ever I faced The cause was there before we came And ev'ry cause that ever I fought I fought it full without regret or shame But the dark does die As the curtain is drawn and somebody's eyes Must meet the dawn And if I see the day I'd only have to stay So I'll bid farewell in the night and be gone Oh, ev'ry thought that's strung a knot in my mind I might go insane if it couldn't be sprung But it's not to stand naked under unknowin' eyes It's for myself and my friends my stories are sung But the time ain't tall Yet on time you depend and no word is possessed By no special friend And though the line is cut It ain't quite the end I'll just bid farewell till we meet again 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 rumors 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

[@justinclark522]

Thank you

I almost love reading the poem more then listening to it. What a masterpiece. Dylan Forever ❤

[@nerdguy9174]

Sounds like he was summarizing his career at that point and how he was going to move on.

[@dougkirby6445]

Most underrated song ever ,last verse is amazing

[@a.m.phaneuf6164]

@@dougkirby6445 yer so right….you wouldn’t happen to know how he does the strumming, do you ?…it fascinates me each time i hear it. Would love to duplicate it.

[@accuser_of_the_brethren7816]

I was looking for early Dylan about 15 years ago and ordered this cd for the boots of Spanish leather version and couldn't have picked a better choice for a song list to memorize. This song however, has some of the hardest right hand strumming patterns I've ever tried to learn. I'm usually a finger picker and caught onto his Travis picking pattern early but every song he strums on isn't a set measure with a disciplined pattern. He actually plays it differently almost every time and that's what makes it amazing and genuine for me.

[@vincenthamilton2828]

This song is based on the Irish traditional song 'The Parting Glass' and there are some other really heartbreaking versions, among others by Shane McGowan

[@MsRockett88]

I had not listened to this Dylan song for many years and a few back discovered "The Party Glass" song which I absolutely love. I just discovered the melody is based on the Scottish folk song "The Parting Glass" also some the lyrics from said folk song.

[@Carlossantanamusicinc]

Hello Dear, it’s nice meeting you on here.

[@norberthelmker8512]

In memoriam to Uncle Dan , Haight Ashbury 1980, never forgotten, this will be my Tombstone Song, when I"ll be buried under the oaktree one day

[@littlewing6231]

Made Frank Sinatra tear up while singing this to Mr.Frank ( as Bob addressed him afterwards) on Frank’s 80th birthday celebration. A grand performance and makes this album cut pedestrian compared to the live version for Frank.

[@theultimohombre]

Agreed x1000 Dilly's funny like that. So many great alternate versions of so many songs. He's a master at reconfiguring... Sometmies the original structure is near unrecognizable.

No, je ne regrette rien- " I can pierce through dust no matter how thick/ So I'll make me stand/ And remain as I am/ And bit farewell and not give a damm" the clock is far from ticking wrong, restlessly on tour ... god bless him

I play this when Im facing a confrontation , of any kind, it always inspires me to remember who I am! It’s powerful !

"Oh, every thought that strung a knot in my mind, I might go insane if it couldn't be sprung" "I've got a head full of ideas that are driving me insane" "And if my thought-dreams could be seen, they'd probably put my head in a guillotine" "I need a dump truck mama to unload my head"

[@estremonias1112]

From "RESTLESS FAREWELL" by Bob Dylan: But the bottles are done, We've killed each one

[@patriciathewisher2315]

Been asleep for much of the past 24 hours - due to combination of allergy pills for my feet and 🍺 cider….. kept falling in and out of dreams. Thinking here of all the money I spent. Not quite like George Best or Rod Stewart who were both hilarious on the subject. All I’ve earned has been spent mainly on CDs; particularly Dylan, going to gigs, presents for my friends, rent to bastard landlords, removal and storage costs, setting up home costs which as soon as done removal costs again, good mattresses, occasional nice jewellery for myself, glasses, travel as much as possible, keeping a car on the road, good food, beer and now cider cos of wheat issue, my mum and dad - flowers and books for her and anything he needed in last few years, banking costs, heat oh of course heat, more than food I need heat.

[@leeglasse5443]

Most folk songs are copied from earlier ones. This is understood and accepted. To plagiarise is something different. And obviously, you play a better harmonica.

[@extrasolar213]

@@leeglasse5443 dylan was a student before he became a master, and he understood well the standards of commercial success and obscure talent barely marketed. he and a few others did such a fine job copying songs he liked that alleged plagiarism took a back seat to enjoyment and in many cases agreement. so then lee, we cant find any immediate fault with your outburst.

Josie loved this album. When we were together in the late 1980s we had a sweet spiritual space. Started going to a local Buddhist centre last year. There was a talk by a good speaker, people came from other local Kadampa centres. After the talk, I was sure I saw Josie, and it was her. Shame she didn't recognise me! But non-attachment was the theme of the talk, and I got attached to her like no-one else, and I have somewhat turned into Homer Simpson since we were together, so that was appropriate.

[@2468pebble]

And once she caught up, she was asking after my daughter, and remembered her name. I didn't have a daughter when we split up, so she'd managed to keep well-informed about me. I'm really glad I saw her again, and this song always reminds me of her.

Plagiarized from The Clancy Brothers song "The Parting Glass" Dylan has to be the worst harmonica player in the world.
