There was an old woman and there was an old man
They lived upon the highroad
He once sat as a jockey for his pay
And she was her mother's darling 'o

And on we go
On we go
Can 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 me darling 'o

Come with me you silly old man
Cozy as a codfish 'o
I've never seen anyone sour as you
At least not after breakfast 'o

She grabbed the old man by the hand
She lead him 'cross a moon lit night
She took him to the public house
And filled him full of whiskey 'o

And on we go
On we go
Can 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 me darling 'o

And on the way back home from town
Oh oh my darlin 'o
She pushed him in the water and she held him down
Can you recall the day we married 'o?

And on we go
On we go
Can 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 me darling 'o
