G Em
Of all the money that e'er I had
C D
I've spent it in good company
G Em
And all the harm I've ever done
C D G
A-las it was to none but me
G Em
And all I've done for want of wit
C D
To memory now I can't recall
G Em
So fill to me the parting glass
C D G
Good night and joy be with you all
G Em
Oh, all the comrades that e'er I had
C D
They're sorry for my going away
G Em
And all the sweethearts that e'er I had
C D G
They'd wish me one more day to stay
G Em
But since it falls unto my lot
C D
That I should rise and you should not
G Em
I'll gently rise and softly call
C D G
Good night and joy be with you all
G Em
If I had money enough to spend
C D
And leisure to sit awhile
G Em
There is a fair maid in the town
C D G
That sorely has my heart beguiled
G Em
Her rosy cheeks and ruby lips
C D
I own she has my heart enthralled
G Em
So fill to me the parting glass
C D G
Good night and joy be with you all
optional chorus between verses
G Em
So fill to me the parting glass
C D
And drink a health what e'er befalls
G Em
I'll gently rise and softly call
C D G
Good night and joy be with you all Please rate for accuracy!
