Lyrics:

Old John on his deathbed cried:
'Think I will wait 'til tomorrow to die
Sun is shining, birds do sing
This, sir, is no day to go

Up and out the door'

CHORUS:
I've had a life that's full
Everyone's been good to me
So fire up that fiddle, boy
And give me one last drink
When the sun comes up
I will leave without a fight
The world is mine tonight.

Took young Molly by the hand
Spun her 'round and back again
Clicked his heels, bowed his head
Never a tear in his eye

Carried on 'til five

So raise a glass to the dear departed ones

The room was full of all his friends
Never a funeral, this was the end
They drank to all who lent their hand
Everyone drank to John,

Raised a glass and said:

I've had a life that's full
Everyone's been good to me
So fire up that fiddle, boy
And give me one last drink
When the sun comes up
I will leave without a trace
The world was mine today.
