Oh of all the money that e're I spent I spent it in good company And of all the harm that e're I done Alas it was to none but me For all I've done for want of witto memory now I can't recall So fill to me the parting glassgood night and joy be with you all Oh of all the comrades that e're I've had They are sorry for my going away And of all the sweethearts that e're I've had They would wish me one more day to stay But since it falls unto my lotthat I should rise and you should not I'll gently rise and softly callgood night and joy be with you all A man may drink and not be drunk A man may fight and not be slain A man may court a pretty girl And perhaps be welcomed back again But since it has so ought to beBy a time to rise and a time to fall Come fill to me the parting glassGood night and joy be with you all Good night and joy be with you all

I will go east and go west From whence came the moon and the sun (Fol lol the doh, fol the day Fol the doh, fol the day) The moon and the sun will go And the young man, his reputation behind him I'll go wherever he came from The young man, his reputation behind him

These fleeting charms of earth Farewell, your springs of joy are dry My soul now seeks another home A brighter world on high I'm a long time travelling here below I'm a long time travelling away from home I'm a long time travelling here below To lay this body down Farewell kind friends whose tender care Has long engaged my love Your fond embrace I now exchange For better friends above I'm a long time travelling here below I'm a long time travelling away from home I'm a long time travelling here below To lay this body down

One morning in the month of JuneDown by a rolling river There a jolly sailor chanced to stray There he beheld some loverHer cheeks were red, her eyes were brown Her hair in ringlets hanging down Her lovely brow without a frown Just as the tide was flowing “My pretty maid,” to her he said“How come you here so early My heart by you it is betrayed And I might love you dearlyI am a sailor come from sea If you will accept my company For to walk and view the fishes play Just as the tide was flowing No more did stay, but on the way They both did gang togetherThe small birds sing, the lambs did play And pleasant was the weather They being weary both sat down Beneath the trees with the branches around And what was said will never be known Just as the tide was flowing
