W:Of all the money that e'er I spent
W:I've spent it in good company
W:And all the harm that ever I've done
W:Alas it was to none but me
W:And all I've done for want of wit
W:To memory now I can't recall
W:So fill to me the parting glass
W:Good night and joy be with you all
W:
W:Oh, all the comrades that e'er I had
W:They're sorry for my going away
W:And all the sweethearts that e'er I had
W:They'd wish me one more day to stay
W:But since it falls unto my lot
W:That I should go and you shall not
W:I'll gently rise and softly call
W:Good night and joy be with you all
