lyrics

Of all the money that ever I had
I spent it in good company
And of all the harm that ever I've 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 a parting glass
Good night and joy be with you all

If I had money, enough to spend
And leisure time to sit a while
There is a fair maid in this town
Who solely hold my heart beguiled
With rosy cheeks and ruby lips
[] she holds my heart enthralled
So fill to me a parting glass
Good night and joy be with you all

Of all the comrades that ever I've had
They're sorry for my going away
And of all the sweethearts that ever I've loved
They wish me one more day to stay
And since it fall unto my lot
That I should rise while you should not
I gently rise and I softly call
Good night and joy be with you all
