Oh all the money that 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 Oh all the comrades that e'er I've had Are sorry for my going away And all the sweethearts that e'er I've 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'll gently rise and I'll softly call Good night and joy be with you all Visitation Friday 2 to 5 & 7 to 9:00 PM Mary Queen of Heaven Saturday 9:45 AM Committal Chapel of Green Wood Crematory Please See Service tab for directions and further details.
