Lyrics

[Verse 1] Of all the money e'er I had I spent it in good company And all the harm I've ever did 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] If I had money enough to spend And leisure time to sit awhile There is fair maid in this town That surely has my heart beguiled Her rosy cheeks and ruby lips I own she has my heart enthralled So fill to me the parting glass Good night and joy be with you all [Verse 3] Oh, all the comrades e'er I had They are sorry for my going away And all the sweethearts e'er I had They 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 Good night and joy be with you all Good night and joy be with you all
