lyrics

Of all the money that e'er I had,
I spent it in good company
And of 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

Of all the comrades that e'er I had,
They are sorry for my going away
And all the sweethearts that e'er I had
They would 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 I'll softly call,
Goodnight and joy be with you all!

A man may drink and not be drunk,
a man may fight and not be slain
A man may court a pretty girl
and perhaps be welcomed back again

But since it has so ought to be
by a time to rise and a time to fall
Come fill to me the parting glass,
good night and joy be with you all

Good night and joy be with you all
