We're on the one road, sharin' 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, swingin' along,
We're 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's the time to step together now.
We're on the one road, sharin' 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, swingin' along,
We're singing a soldier's song.
Tinker, tailor, every mother's son,
Butcher, baker, shoulderin' his gun;
Rich man, poor man, every man in line,
All together now like Auld Lang Syne.
We're on the one road, sharin' 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, swingin' along,
We're singing a soldier's song.
Night is darkest just before the dawn,
From dissension Ireland is reborn;
Soon we'll all, united Irishmen,
Make our land a nation once again.
We're on the one road, sharin' 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, swingin' along,
We're singing a soldier's song.
