One Last Drink Lyrics

Old John on his deathbed cried

I 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.



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

But 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

Won't you raise a glass

To the dear departed ones.



Room was full of all his friends

Never a funeral

this was the end

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 fight

But the world is mine tonight.



When the sun comes up

I will leave without a trace

But the world was mine tonight.
