Tunie: One Last Drink

About

By T. Lewington, as performed by Enter the Haggis, on their CD "Soapbox Heroes."

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

Old John on his deathbed cried

I think I'll wait 'till

Tomorrow to die

Sun is shining birds do sing

This sir is no day to go

Up and out the door

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

When the sun comes up

I will leave without a trace

But the world was mine today.
