On the One Road Songtext
von Derek Warfield & The Wolfe Tones

We′re on the one road
Sharing the one load
We're on the road to God knows where
We′re on the one road
It may be the wrong road
But we're together, now who cares
North men, South men, comrades all
Dublin, Belfast, Cork and Donegal
We're on the one road swinging along
Singing a soldier′s song

Though we′ve had our troubles now and then
Now is the time to make them up again
Sure aren't we all Irish anyhow
Now is the time to step together now


We′re on the one road
Sharing the one load
We're on the road to God knows where
We′re on the one road
It may be the wrong road
But we're together, now who cares
North men, South men, comrades all
Dublin, Belfast, Cork and Donegal
We′re on the one road swinging along
Singing a soldier's song

Tinker, tailor, every mother's son
Butcher, baker shouldering his gun
Rich man, poor man, every man in line
All together just like Old Land Syne

We′re on the one road
Sharing the one load
We′re on the road to God knows where
We're on the one road
It may be the wrong road
But we′re together, now who cares
North men, South men, comrades all
Dublin, Belfast, Cork and Donegal
We're on the one road swinging along
Singing a soldier′s song

Night is darkest just before the dawn
From dissention, Ireland is reborn
Soon we'll all be United Irishmen
Make our land a nation once again


We′re on the one road
Sharing the one load
We're on the road to God knows where
We're on the one road
It may be the wrong road
But we′re together, now who cares
North men, South men, comrades all
Dublin, Belfast, Cork and Donegal
We′re on the one road swinging along
Singing a soldier's song

We′re on the one road
Sharing the one load
We're on the road to God knows where
We′re on the one road
It may be the wrong road
But we're together, now who cares
North men, South men, comrades all
Dublin, Belfast, Cork and Donegal
We′re on the one road swinging along
Singing a soldier's song
