And probably other titles too. I have known this song for over fifty years. It was the last thing sung as my grandparents Sunday night music and a medicinal dram evenings drew to a close.
Its only melancholy was that the evening had finished. Recently I've been hearing it referred to as a suitable lament for funerals, a Very Sad Song which you wouldn't hear any other time. I'm also hearing it called The Passing Glass which may or may not be a connected idea.
How do others know this song? @ramonmercado ? @maximus otter ?
Wikipedia gives lyrics and a history https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Parting_Glass
And here it is being used in Assassin's Creed 4
