A glass to the Workers at the Plant
they KNOW they are sacrificing themselves not for you or me... but their families and their country.

But let me raise a glass for them.

As it were a glass of sake... they are heroes.

:toast:

NOt this is not a happy toast, but the only smile

1. The Parting Glass, sad.

The Parting Glass

Of all the money that e'er I spent
I've spent it in good company
And all the harm that ever I did
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.

If I had money enough to spend
And leisure time to sit awhile
There is a fair maid in this town
That sorely has my heart beguiled
Her rosy cheeks and ruby lips
She alone has my heart enthralled
So fill to me the parting glass
Good night and joy be with you all

Oh, all the comrades that e'er I had
They're sorry for my going away
And all the sweethearts that e'er I had
They'd wish me one more day to stay
But since it falls unto my lot
That I should rise while you should not
I will gently rise and I'll softly call,
"Good night and joy be with you all"

It's needless to say that we stand as one with the Japanese people tonight. Good luck to all of you.
