lyrics

O, all the money ee’r I had,
I spent it in good company.
And all the harm that e’er 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 the parting glass
Goodnight and joy be with you all.

If I had money enough to spend
And leisure time to sit awhile
I have a sweetheart in this town
Who sorely has my heart beguiled
Her rosy cheeks, her ruby lips
I own she has my heart in thrall,
So fill to me the parting glass,
Good night and joy be with you all.

Oh, all the comrades e’er I had,
Are sorry for my going away,
And all the sweethearts e’er I had,
Would 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 softly call,
Good night and joy be with you all.
