EN
Oh 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 the parting glass, good night and joy be with you all If I had money enough to spend and leisure time to sit awhile There is a fair maid in this town that sorely has my heart beguiled Her rosy cheeks and ruby lips I own she has my heart in thrall So fill to me the parting glass, good night and joy be with you all Oh all the comrades that e'er I had, they're sorry for my going away And all the sweethearts that e'er I had, they beg 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"
