On We Go by Possibly Irish Lyrics

Genre: country | Year: 2019

[Verse 1]
There was an old woman and there was an old man
They lived upon the high road
He once sat as a jockey for his pay
And she was her mother's darlin', oh

[Chorus]
On we go, on we go
Can you recall the day we married, oh?
On we go, on we go
Wouldn't you be frightened to die alone?
Come a little closer to me, darlin', oh

[Verse 2]
Oh, come with me, ye silly old man
Cosy as a codfish, oh
Never knew anyone sour as you
At least not after breakfast, oh

[Verse 3]
Took the old man by the hand
Led him 'cross the moonlit night
She took him to a public house
Filled him full of whiskey, oh
[Chorus]
On we go, on we go
Can you recall the day we married, oh?
On we go, and on we go
Wouldn't you be frightened to die alone?
Come a little closer to me, darlin', oh

[Verse 4]
And on the way back home from town
Oh, oh, my darlin', oh
She pushed him in the water and she held him down
Can you recall the day we married, oh?

[Chorus]
On we go, and on we go
Can you recall the day we married, oh?
On we go, and on we go
Wouldn't you be frightened to die alone?
Come a little closer to me, darlin', oh

[Bridge]
There was an old woman and there was an old man
They lived upon the high road
And he once sat as a jockey for his pay
And she was her mother's darlin', oh
[Outro]
On we go, on we go
Can you recall the day we married, oh?
On we go, and on we go
Wouldn't you be frightened to die alone?
On we go, on we go
Can you recall the day we married, oh?
On we go, and on we go
Wouldn't you be frightened to die alone?
Come a little closer to me, darlin', oh
Wouldn't you be frightened to die alone?
Come a little closer to me, darlin', oh
