W:If I had money enough to spend
W:And leisure to sit awhile
W:There is a fair maid in the town
W:That sorely has my heart beguiled
W:Her rosy cheeks and ruby lips
W:I own she has my heart enthralled
W:So fill to me the parting glass
W:Good night and joy be with you all
W:
W:Oh, all the comrades that e'er I had
W:They're sorry for my going away
W:And all the sweethearts that e'er I had
W:They'd wish me one more day to stay
W:But since it falls unto my lot
W:That I should rise and you should not
W:I'll gently rise and softly call
W:Good night and joy be with you all
