Thread Name: Lyr Req: On the One Road (Irish soldier's song)
Subject: RE: Obscure Irish Soldier's Song: On the One Road
of course you're right Jack Hickman - all parties marching merrily down the one road - a very commendable sentiment - a summation devoutly to be wished, as they say.

the thing is we're all going to be marching down the one road singing A Soldier's Song. And the lyric contains the words - make our land 'A Nation Once Again'. Both of which make it not top of the pops with the Orange fellers.

I was in a band that was told to stop playing it one time in Nottingham. The landlady said it might start her clientelle fighting - so of course we stopped, played something else.

Fighting is to be avoided. Well I think so.
