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
