<song> | |||
Of all the money e'er I had, | Of all the money e'er I had, | ||
I spent it in good company. | I spent it in good company. | ||
And all the harm e'er I've done, | And all the harm e'er I've done, | ||
Alas! it was to none but me. | Alas! it was to none but me. | ||
And all I've done for want of wit | And all I've done for want of wit | ||
To mem'ry now I can't recall | To mem'ry now I can't recall | ||
So fill to me the parting glass | So fill to me the parting glass | ||
Good night and joy be with you all. | Good night and joy be with you all. | ||
''Chorus: (Some Versions Omit)'' | ''Chorus: (Some Versions Omit)'' | ||
So fill to me the parting glass | So fill to me the parting glass | ||
And drink a health whate'er befalls | And drink a health whate'er befalls | ||
Then gently rise and softly call | Then gently rise and softly call | ||
"Good night and joy be to you all" | "Good night and joy be to you all" | ||
Oh, all the comrades e'er I had, | Oh, all the comrades e'er I had, | ||
They're sorry for my going away, | They're sorry for my going away, | ||
And all the sweethearts e'er I had, | And all the sweethearts e'er I had, | ||
They'd wish me one more day to stay, | They'd wish me one more day to stay, | ||
But since it falls unto my lot, | But since it falls unto my lot, | ||
That I should rise and you should not, | That I should rise and you should not, | ||
I gently rise and softly call, | I gently rise and softly call, | ||
Good night and joy be with you all. | Good night and joy be with you all. | ||
If I had money enough to spend, | If I had money enough to spend, | ||
And leisure time to sit awhile, | And leisure time to sit awhile, | ||
There is a fair maid in this town, | There is a fair maid in this town, | ||
That sorely has my heart beguiled. | That sorely has my heart beguiled. | ||
Her rosy cheeks and ruby lips, | Her rosy cheeks and ruby lips, | ||
I own she has my heart in thrall, | I own she has my heart in thrall, | ||
Then fill to me the parting glass, | Then fill to me the parting glass, | ||
Good night and joy be with you all. | Good night and joy be with you all. | ||

Of all the money e'er I had, I spent it in good company. And all the harm e'er I've done, Alas! it was to none but me. And all I've done for want of wit To mem'ry now I can't recall So fill to me the parting glass Good night and joy be with you all.
Chorus: (Some Versions Omit) So fill to me the parting glass And drink a health whate'er befalls Then gently rise and softly call "Good night and joy be to you all"
Oh, all the comrades 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 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.
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 in thrall, Then fill to me the parting glass, Good night and joy be with you all.
