Verse 1

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.

Verse 2

Oh, all the comrades that ere I had,

 They're sorry for my going away,

 And all the sweethearts that ere I had,

They’d 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!"

Verse 3

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.”
