[Verse 1: Peter Hollens & The Hound + The Fox]
Of all the money that e'er I've had
I spent it in good company
And all the harm that e'er I've done
Alas it was to none but me
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 with you all
[Verse 2: Peter Hollens]
Of all the comrades that e'er I had
Their sorry for my going away
[The Hound + The Fox]
And all the sweethearts that e'er I had
They'd wish me one more day to stay
But since it fell unto my lot
That I should rise and you should not
I gently rise and I softly call
[Peter Hollens&The Hound + The Fox]
Good night and joy be with you all
[Peter Hollens&The Hound + The Fox]
So fill to me the parting glass
And drink of health what e'rr be falls
And gently rise and softly fall
Good night and joy be to you all
[Peter Hollens&The Hound + The Fox]
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
