NOTES:
This is a great Irish folk song, usually sung at the end of a gathering of
friends (or the last song of a show). You can find versions of it on many 
Irish folk compilations. Try Tommy Makem's version on 
"The Best of the Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem".


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


VERSE:
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


VERSE:
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.
