One of the criteria for notability of a song is:
Has been independently released as a recording by several notable artists, bands, or groups. (from Wikipedia:Notability (music))
So a listing in the article of some of the recordings of this song by notable musicians is essential to fulfill this criterion. Hohenloh + 14:22, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

It is meaningless to talk about a supposedly notable song without giving any hint of the melody or at least a verse or two of the more common lyrics. That's like talking about a famous painting without seeing the painting. If these things can't be provided in an article, at least some links to them need to be provided.
BTW, I STRONGLY disagree that a song needs to have been "recorded by several notable artists" in order to be a notable song. Audio recording is barely a hundred years old. There have been notable sonngs around LONG before the advent of recording, and many have roots going back centuries. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.206.183.78 ( talk) 08:15, 5 May 2013 (UTC)
[New Comment]: I also like to compare this with Vaughan Williams' "Dives and Lazarus" and sometimes I wonder if he was ever inspired a little by The Parting Glass; just a thought --comment added by [User: guest] — Preceding unsigned comment added by 38.141.58.139 ( talk) 17:02, 8 May 2020 (UTC)
Lovely as Davey's arrangement is I'd question that it would truly count as a "new, original melody". It does depart a bit but has the same metric structure and would easily work as a harmony against the conventional version of the melody. Mutt Lunker ( talk) 21:57, 2 December 2013 (UTC)
Due to frequent incorrect edits, presumably due to the song's popularity in Ireland, I have decided to create a talk section on the origin of the song. The article and it's sources state that the song's lyrics came from Scotland as early as 1600, with the tune also coming from Scotland much more recently. If you have evidence of an Irish origin predating the Scottish one, please post that information here. Until such information is posted I will continue to revert alterations made to the article.

Celtic Woman have released a slightly-new version, on their Homecoming album. Memassivbeast ( talk) 18:41, 18 February 2018 (UTC)
The recently added references regarding strong Irish influence would seem worthy of inclusion. Bending them, in the manner that they were, to claim origin is neither supported nor warranted. Mutt Lunker ( talk) 16:31, 12 January 2022 (UTC)
Apologies, added this a bit too boldly without checking the talk page and seeing consensus was to leave it. Would like the below to be considered though:
I've seen it mentioned in a couple of sources [1] [2], it's mentioned in Give Me Love's lead, and the page is a member of the category for Ed Sheeran songs, so could this be reconsidered to keep? Is two sources enough to pass WP:SONGCOVER? Couruu ( talk) 10:49, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
I think that the German band dArtagnan might have recorded a German version. Or am I wrong? Search: DArtagnan - "Das letzte Glas" Universal-Interessierter de ( talk ( de)) 04:26, 19 March 2023 (UTC)
