Stay Awhile
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 known 
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
