Traditional lyrics

Chorus:
So fill to me a parting glass, and drink a health whate’er befalls
And gently rise and softly call, goodbye and joy be to you all

Lyrics:
Of all the money that e’er I had, I spent it in good company
And all the harm that e’re I’ve 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, goodbye and joy be to you all

For all the friends 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 fell unto my lot, That I should rise and you should not
I gently rise and softly call, Goodbye and joy be to you all
Goodbye and joy be to you all.
