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 Verse 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, 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 Verse Tinker, tailor, every mother's son Butcher, baker shouldering his gun Rich man, poor man, every man in line All together just like Auld Lang 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 Verse 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 Verse Yes, we've had our troubles now and then But now's the time to make them up again Sure aren't we all Irish anyhow? Now is the time, 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
