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
