Of Gall the money that Eme'er I had
I've Cspent it in good Dcompany
And Gall the harm I've Emever done
A-Clas it was to Dnone but Gme
And Gall I've done for Emwant of wit
To Cmemory now I Dcan't recall
So Gfill to me the Emparting glass
Good Cnight and joy be Dwith you Gall
Oh, Gall the comrades that Eme'er I had
They're Csorry for my Dgoing away
And Gall the sweethearts that Eme'er I had
They'd Cwish me one more Dday to Gstay
But Gsince it falls unEmto my lot
That CI should rise and Dyou should not
I'll Ggently rise and Emsoftly call
Good Cnight and joy be Dwith you Gall
If GI had money eEmnough to spend
And Cleisure to sit aDwhile
There Gis a fair maid Emin the town
That Csorely has my Dheart beGguiled
Her Grosy cheeks and Emruby lips
I Cown she has my Dheart enthralled
So Gfill to me the Emparting glass
Good Cnight and joy be Dwith you Gall
optional chorus between verses
So Gfill to me the Emparting glass
And Cdrink a health what De'er befalls
I'll Ggently rise and Emsoftly call
Good Cnight and joy be Dwith you Gall
optional repeat of last chorus line making preceding bar of G a half bar instead
