W:2. Of all the comrades ere I had, they're sorry for my going away,
W: And all the sweethearts ere I had , they wish me one more day to stay,
W: But since it falls unto my lot that I should go and you should not,
W: I'll gently rise and softly call, good night and joy be with you all.

W:3. If I had money enough to spend and leisure time to sit awhile
W: There is a fair maid in this town who sorely has my heart beguiled
W: Her rosey cheeks and ruby lips, I alone she has my heart in thrall
W: So fill to me the parting glass, good night and joy be with you all.
