Stay Awhile Lyrics - Kingston Trio

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
