Did You Know? The Parting Glass predates Auld Lang Syne and is traditionally a Scottish song, but also very popular in Ireland.  It's often sung as a goodbye to friends after a gathering. It's rumoured to have been the last gift to a departing guest, sung to them after they have mounted their horse ready for their journey.
