Stay Awhile

Oh, we'll stay awhile to bide awhile

We'll never want to leave ya

Oh, we'll stay awhile to bide awhile

'Til we come back to see ya

As we were walkin' down to Wales one day

We chanced upon young Tommy Clancy

And we called to him, "Could you go a drink?"

Said "He'll ask that's my fancy"

Oh, we'll stay awhile to bide awhile

We'll never want to leave ya

Oh, we'll stay awhile to bide awhile

'Til we come back to see ya

Oh, we drank to Tommy and he did the same

We drank to all his hellish brothers

And we drank to home and the girls we've known

Then had one for our mothers

Oh, we'll stay awhile to bide awhile

We'll never want to leave ya

Oh, we'll stay awhile to bide awhile

'Til we come back to see ya

And then we sang those songs that we sang before

We sang that we would drink forever

When the last drop passed our lips that day

We sang this song together

Oh, we'll stay awhile to bide awhile

We'll never want to leave ya

Oh, we'll stay awhile to bide awhile

'Til we come back to see ya
