Thread Name: Lyr/Chords Req: On We Go
Subject: Lyr Add: ON WE GO (from Nancy McCallion)
"ON WE GO," performed by Nancy McCallion of The Mollys, can be found of Women of the World: Celtic.

There was an old woman and there was an old man
Who lived upon the high road.
He once sat as a jockey for his pay,
And she was her mother's darling-o.

CHORUS: On we go, and on we go.
Can you recall the day we married-o?
On we go, and on we go.
Wouldn't you be frightened to die-o?
Come a little closer to your darlin'-o.

Come with me, you silly old man,
Cozy as a codfish-o.
I've never seen anyone as sorry as you,
At least not after breakfast-o.

Chorus:

She took the old man by the hand.
She led him across a moonlit night.
She took him to the public house
And filled him up with whisky–o.

Chorus:

On the way back home from town,
Oh, woe my darling-o!
She pushed him in the water and held him down.
Can you recall the day we married-o?

Chorus:

End= Verse one as round until fade
