On the day that I die, I will surely go to Hell For I drank a lot of pints and loved a lot of women But whatever may happen, I won't bow down in shame Won't wipe the smile off my face
On the day that I die, I will surely fall apart For each time I gave myself, I did it with a true heart And if you think I was silly to burn my life away It was mine to ruin anyway
ref.: Oh, come to me in the middle of the night Come to me and make it alright Come to me, I can't make it all alone Come to me, let's make it our own For if we give up our pride Sure we will fail Go, go, go beyond the pale
And the day that I go there to meet the one I'm from I will tell him a few things that will surely make Him frown And if He throws me in the lake, saying "son, you're doomed" He'll still be the one to feel the gloom
On the day that I die, I'll have only one regret For there might be some things that I'll haven't tried yet But if regret is a tree, its leaves are burning red It won't last long 'til it's dried dead
ref.
On the day that I die, I will surely see you there All my friends and all my foes, they all will play the snare And whatever comes next, it might only be good As long as there's music and a little booze
On this last day of mine, I don't want to see you cry I don't want to hear you mourn or despair or sigh For nothing bad can happen as long as I have faith As long as I don't give up my strength
