[Chorus:]
|
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 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]
