<b>Rodney's glory</b> by <i>Ceilí Moss</i><br />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

ref.
