about

A well known Scottish traditional farewell that has been around for hundreds of years. The earliest version of this song comes from 1605, when a portion of the first stanza was written in a farewell letter, as a poem now known as "Armstrong's Goodnight", by one of the Border Reivers executed that year for the murder in 1600 of Sir John Carmichael, Warden of the Scottish West March.

lyrics

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

And all I've done for want of wit
To memory now I can't recall
So fill to me the parting glass
Good night and joy be with you all

Of all the comrades that e'er I had
They're sorry for my going away
And of all the sweethearts that e'er I had
They'd wish me one more day to stay

But since it falls unto my lot
That I should rise and you should not
I gently rise and softly call
Good night and joy be with you all

Oh, if I had money enough to spend
And leisure time to sit a while
There’s a fair young lad in this town
That sorely has my heart beguiled

His rosy cheeks and lovely lips
Alone he has my heart in thrall
So fill to me the parting glass
