Of all the money that 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;

Goodnight, and joy be with you all.


Of all the comrades that e'er I had,

They are 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'll gently rise and softly call,

Goodnight, and joy be with you all.


If I had money enough to spend,

And leisure time to sit awhile;

There is a fair maid in this town,

Who sorely has my heart beguiled.

Her rosey cheeks and ruby lips,

I alone she has my heart in thrall.

So fill to me the parting glass,

Goodnight, and joy be with you all.
