Over deze songtekst:

Een lied dat populair was in Schotland en Ierland. Het werd vaak gezongen als laatste na een avondje met vrienden. Er zijn nog 2 coupletten die John niet zingt. Die coupletten zijn:

If I had enough money to spend
And leisure time to sit a while
There is a fair maid in this town
That sorely has my heart beguiled

Her rosey cheeks and ruby lips
I own, she has my heart enthralled
So fill to me the parting glass
Goodnight and joy be with you all

Of all the money that er'e I spent
I spent it in good company
And all the harm that ere I've done
Alas it was to none but me

And all I have done for want of wit
To memory now I can't recall
So fill ne the parting glass
Goodnight and joy be with you all

Of all the comrades that er'e I had
Are sorry for my going away
And all the sweetheart that er'e I had
Would wish me one more day to stay

But since it falls, unto my lot
That I should rise and you should not
I will gently rise and I'll softly call
Goodnight and joy be with you all
