There was one road up and there was one road down,
There was only one road that would take us to your town;
A general store and a mill shut down,
There's only one pub in that whole damn town.
Well, Clancy ran the general store,
Stocking shelves and minding the floor;
He also delivered the town's mail,
At night he worked the county jail.
There was one road up and there was one road down,
There was only one road that would take us to your town;
A general store and a mill shut down,
There's only one pub in that whole damn town.
Well, Clancy's wife she was built like steel,
Breakin' the crowns to harvest the fields;
The pub she worked, servin' the beer,
Where they held the town's meeting only once a year.
There was one road up and there was one road down,
There was only one road that would take us to your town;
A general store and a mill shut down,
There's only one pub in that whole damn town.
The night would come, and the moon set low,
You'd see the river's bank, lit by the glow;
You could hear the mill's wheel squeak, covered in dew,
And a flock of Baccalieu auks swimmin' two by two. Whoa!
There was one road up and there was one road down,
There was only one road that would take us to your town;
A general store and a mill shut down,
There's only one pub in that whole damn town.
There was one road up and there was one road down,
There was only one road that would take us to your town;
A general store and a mill shut down,
There's only one pub in that whole damn town.
There was one road, one road, one road, one road,
There was one road.
