Enter the Haggis

As disgusting as the title sounds, this is a great band from Toronto. My friend sent an mp3 to me saying “I want this song played at my funeral.”

I completely agree. I’m leaving money in my will, and these lyrics, so everyone knows what to do while having that drink I just bought them.

Old John from 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
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

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

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
But the world is mine today

You really need to hear it though.
