[Intro] [8 bars -harp begins, then low flute joins] [Verse 1, with tenor male vocal] Of all the money that e'er I had, I have spent it in good company. Oh and all the harm I've ever done, Alas, it was to none but me. [Pre-chorus] And all I've done for want of wit, To memory now I can't recall. So fill to me the parting glass, Good night and joy be to you all. [Chorus, Male + Female together, with vocal harmonies] So fill to me the parting glass, And drink a health whate'er befalls. Then gently rise and softly call, Good night and joy be to you all. [Connecting instrumental interlude - 8 bars] [Verse 2, with contralto female vocal] Of all the comrades that e'er I had, They're sorry for my going away, And all the sweethearts that e'er I had, Who’d wish me one more day to stay. [Pre-chorus] But since it fell into my lot, That I should rise and you should not. I'll gently rise and softly call, Good night and joy be to you all. [Chorus, Male + Female together, with vocal harmonies] So fill to me the parting glass, And drink a health whate'er befalls. Then gently rise and softly call, Good night and joy be to you all. [Instrumental - 16 bars featuring, harp, low flute, fiddle solos] [Chorus, Male + Female together, with vocal harmonies] So fill to me the parting glass And gather as the evening falls And gently rise and softly call Good night and joy be to you all Good night and joy be to you all… [Outro] [Instrumental - 16 bars featuring, harp, low flute, fiddle solos] [harp finishes] [end]
