Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Oh all the money e'er I had
I 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 with you all
[Verse 2]
Oh all the comrades e'er I had
They're sorry for my going away
And all the sweethearts e'er I had
They wished me one more day to stay
But since it falls unto my lot
That I should rise and you should not
I gently rise and softly call
Good night and joy be with you all
[Verse 3]
If I had money enough to spend
And leisure time to sit a while
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 enthralled
Then fill to me the parting glass
Good night and joy be with you all
