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.
