Of[Am] all the money that e'er I[G] spent

I've[Am] spent it in good[G] company

And[Am] all the harm that ever I[G] did

A[Am]las it[G] was to[Am] none but me

And[C] all I've done for want of wit

To[Dm] memory now I[C] can't recall

So[Am] fill to me the parting[G] glass

Good[Am night and[G] joy be[Am with you all

If I had money enough to spend

And leisure to sit awhile

There is a fair maid in 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

Oh, all the comerades that e'er I had

They're sorry for my going away

And all the sweethearts that 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'll gently rise and softly call

Good night and joy be with you all,
Good night and joy be with you all.
