ONE BUMPER AT PARTING. AKA and see "Mall Rua," "Moll Roe in the Morning," "Ditherum Doodle," "Though late was I plump," "Come Under My Dimity," "Late on a Saturday Night," "Night of the Fun (3) (The)," "Munsterman's Flattery," "I'll take a glass with a friend," "B'fhearr liomsa ainnir gan guna." "One bumper at parting" is the title of a song by Thomas Moore (), set to the melody "Mall Rua." 19th century Irish collector P. W. Joyce notes: "Here is how Mr. Patrick Murray (see Old Irish Folk Music and Songs, 1909, p. 154) describes them about 1840 in a parody on Moore's 'One bumper at parting' (a lumper, in Mr. Murray's version, means a big potato):-

One lumper at parting, though many
Have rolled on the board since we met,
The biggest the hottest of any
Remains in the round for us yet.
