   Dm         A#      F       C
Of all the money that e'er I had
   F                     Dm     C
I have spent it in good company
       Dm        A#      F      C
Oh and all the harm I've ever done
  F    A# Am     A#      Dm
Alas, it was to none but me

Chorus:
    F   A#    F       Am       F
And all I've done for want of with
   Gm      F     A#      C
To memory now I can't recall
    Dm      A#     F        C
So fill to me the parting glass
      F    A#  Am      A#      Dm
Good night and joy be with you all

Oh, of all the comrades that e'er I had
They're sorry for my going away
And of all the sweethearts that e'er I had
They would wish me one more day to stay

Chorus:
But since it falls unto my lot
That I should rise and you should not
I'll gently rise and I'll softly call
Good night and joy be with you all

But as it falls unto my lot
That I must go and you should not
I'll gently rise and softly call
Good night and joy be with you all
