	        G   C           Em      G        D7  
Of all the money that e'er I spent  
       G                G        D7  
I've spent it in good company  
C           Em         G       D7  
And all the harm that ever I did  
Em        G     C        Em  
Alas it was to none but me  
      G                 G  
And all I've done for want of wit  
C         D7      G        D7  
To memory now I can't recall  
C    Em         G            D7  
So fill to me the parting glass  
Em               G      C        Em  
Good night and joy be with you all  

If I had money enough to spend  
And leisure to sit awhile  
There is a fair maid in the 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 comrades 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
