Of all the money that ere I had,
I spent it in good company.
And all the harm that ere I done,
Alas! It was to none but me.
And all Ive done for want of wit,
To memory now I cant recall.
So fill to me the parting glass.
Goodnight and joy be with you all.
Oh, all the comrades that ere I had,
They're sorry for my going away,
And all the sweethearts that ere I had,
Theyd wish me one more day to stay
But since it falls unto my lot
That I should rise and you should not,
I will gently rise and I'll softly call,
"Goodnight and joy be with you all!"
Oh, if I had enough money 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,
I own she has my heart in thrall.
So fill to me the parting glass.
Goodnight and joy be with you all.
