Lyrics:

Of all the money that e'er I had
I have spent it in good company
And all the harm that ever I’ve done
Alas, twas done 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

Oh, if I had money enough 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 enthralled
So fill to me the parting glass
Good night and joy be with you all

Of all the comrades that e'er I had
They're sorry for my going away
And all the sweethearts e'er I had
They’d wish me one more day to stay

But since it falls into 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
