On a completely unrelated note, a favourite song ...

On We Go

1) There was an old woman and there was an old man
Who lived upon the high road
He once sat as a jockey for his pay
And she was her mother’s darling’O
Chorus:
On we go, and on we go
Call you recall the day we married’O
On we go, and on we go
Wouldn’t you be frightened to die alone
Come a little closer to your darlin’O

2) Come with me you silly old man
Cozy as a cod fish show
I’ve never seen anyone as sorry as you
At least not after breakfast’O
3) She took the old man by the hand
She lead him across a moon lit night
She took him to the public house
And filled him up with whisky ‘O

Chorus:

4) On the way back home from town
Oh, woe my darling 'O
She pushed him in the water and held him down
Call you recall the day we married’O

Chorus:
5) There was an old woman and there was an old man
Who lived upon the high road
He once sat as a jockey for his pay
And she was her mother’s darling’O
Chorus:

a version of these lyrics found at 3 Pints Gone (can't recall where I've heard of them before)
