    Story Behind the Song
    Traditional

    Kathleen Mullaly Masino - Lead vocal
    Bill Masino - Harmony vocal
    Colin O'Brian - Acoustic Guitar
    Randy Wothke - Snare
    Bryan Blaylock - Bodhran



    This song became an instant favorite for Kathleen.  She was first introduced to this song by Patty.  It was a recording done by The Molly's, on their recording - This Is My Round.  See: http://www.mollys.com/mollys/    

    When in the studio, Colin added the brilliant drunken stumble to the climatic verse. (You just can't wait to hear it now!) The melody is much like the renaissance festival's song that starts, "Hey ho, no-body home...."  "It had to be sung as a round, says Kathleen.  She is always tempted to sing this song as a snotty, pushy, spoiled girl whom she is nothing like.

    Lyrics
    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'O
    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

    Chorus:

    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, wo my darling 'O
         She pushed him in the water and held him down
         Call you recall the day we married'O
     
    Chorus:
     
    End= Verse one as round until fade
