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

Old John on his deathbed cried
“I think I will wait ’til tomorrow to die
The 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
The world is mine tonight

He took young Molly by the hand
Spun her around and back again
He clicked his heels and bowed his head
Never a tear in his eye
Carried on ’til five

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

So raise a glass to the dear departed ones
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
Ev’ryone drank ’til John
Raised his 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
The world is mine tonight

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 was mine tonight
