One More Before We Go Bill Meek / John Conolly John Conolly, Ranter's Wharf We have walked this road a thousand times God grant us a thousand more Down all those rolling years to bring Our music to your door We've shared the songs and laughter too Of joys we took our fill And by the light of the friendly moon We rolled home singing still One more before we go, me boys Let mirth and music flow In friendship's bond let us rejoice One more before we go Oh the amber and the ruby glass Have warmed both heart and mind And by the fire of jovial inns A welcome we would find Kind voices and kind words we've met Throughout this pleasant land A smiling face and an open door And a clasp from every hand Chorus And those who've journeyed far may find A port in stormy seas And a haven from the gales of life To bring their spirit ease From farm or factory they may come Those labouring men or kings To plant their voices and to share The bond that music brings Chorus No sadness shall our burden be No care shall sit beside While song and story carry us Upon their magic tide And when the hastening hour decrees Farewells we must bestow Then all shall raise their glass to join One more before we go Chorus
