Looking for lyrics to an Irish or English [I think] folk song called "On We Go." The tune is reminiscent of
"Heigh, Ho, Nobody Home," and I don't really need the chords all that much [but if you've got 'em handy, ...].Here are some of the lyrics I can recall:
There was an old woman and there was an old man,
They loved upon the high road, oh.
He once said, as a chucky for his pay,
That she was her mother's darlin', oh.
Chorus:
On we go, on we go
Would ye see me pregnant, see me die alone?
On we go, on we go,
Come a little closer to me, darlin', oh.
"Come with me, you silly old man,
Cozy as a codfish, oh.
................
................
She took him by his ........ hand
And led him to an alehouse, oh.
...................
And filled him full o' whiskey, oh.
----
Anyway, she drowns him in a well and then we all sing the chorus again.
I've searched the DT and forum for "On We Go," and for "Come a little closer" and for "cozy as a codfish," and I've come up with zilch. I figured one of you 'cats may know the song.
Thanks,
Genie
