 2x
 Of all  the money  that e'er  I had
 I've spent  it in  good company
 And all  the harm  I ve ever done
 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 to  you all
Fill  to me  the parting glass
 And drink a health  what er  befalls
 I gently rise  and softly call
 Goodnight  and joy  be to  you all
 Of 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 fell  unto  my lot
 That I should rise  and you  should not
 I gently rise  and softly call
 Goodnight  and joy  be to  you all
 But since  it fell  unto  my lot
 That I should rise  and you  should not
 I gently rise  and softly call
 Goodnight  and joy  be to  you all
 So fill  to me  the parting glass
 And drink a health  what er  befalls
 I gently rise  and softly call
 Goodnight  and joy  be to  you all
