Stay Awhile

Kingston Trio

Compositor: Bob Shane / John Stewart / Nick Reynolds

Chorus:
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!"

(chorus)

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.

(chorus)

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.

(chorus)
