 Tune: SOCIAL BAND (Southern Harmony, p. 112)
       CLAMANDA (Sacred Harp, p. 42)

 Of all the money e'er I had,
 I spent it in good company.
 And all the harm I've ever done,
 Alas! it was to none but me.
 And all I've done for want of wit
 To mem'ry now I can't recall
 So fill to me the parting glass
 Good night and joy be with you all

 Oh, all the comrades e'er I had,
 They're sorry for my going away,
 And all the sweethearts 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 gently rise and softly call,
 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,
 Then fill to me the parting glass,
 Good night and joy be with you all.
