Traditional |
|
Of all the money that e'er I had |
|
I spent it in good company. |
|
And 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 this parting glass, |
|
Goodnight and joy be with you all. |
|
Of 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 into my lot |
|
That I should rise and they should not, |
|
I 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 man in this town |
|
That surely has my heart beguiled. |
|
His lonely eyes, |
|
His quiet mouth, |
|
I own he has my heart in thrall, |
|
So fill to me this parting glass, |
|
Goodnight and joy be with you all. |
