Stay Awhile - The Kingston Trio

Oh, we’ll stay awhile to fight awhile.

We’ll never want to leave ya

Oh, we’ll stay awhile to fight 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 «boys, That’s my fancy!»

Oh, we’ll stay awhile to fight awhile.

We’ll never want to leave ya

Oh, we’ll stay awhile to fight 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 to girls we’ve know and we had one for our mothers

Oh, we’ll stay awhile to fight awhile.

We’ll never want to leave ya

Oh, we’ll stay awhile to fight awhile 'til we come back to see ya

And then we sang those songs we sang before.

We sang that we would drink forever

When the last drops passed our lips that day, we sang this song together

Oh, we’ll stay awhile to fight awhile.

We’ll never want to leave ya

Oh, we’ll stay awhile to fight awhile 'til we come back to see ya
