Stay Awhile
A Spirited Toast to Friendship and Memories
Lyrics
Oh, we'll stay awhile to bide awhile
Expressing the intention to stay for a while
We'll never want to leave ya
Affirming the desire to remain in the current place
Oh, we'll stay awhile to bide awhile
Reiterating the commitment to stay for a while
'Til we come back to see ya
Planning to return to the location in the future
As we were walkin' down to Wales one day
Recalling a journey to Wales
We chanced upon young Tommy Clancy
Encountering a person named Tommy Clancy
And we called to him, "Could you go a drink?"
Asking Tommy if he wants a drink
Said "He'll ask that's my fancy"
Tommy expressing a willingness to have a drink
Oh, we'll stay awhile to bide awhile
Reaffirming the intention to stay for a while
We'll never want to leave ya
Expressing the desire to remain in the current place
Oh, we'll stay awhile to bide awhile
Reiterating the commitment to stay for a while
'Til we come back to see ya
Planning to return to the location in the future
Oh, we drank to Tommy and he did the same
Toasting to Tommy Clancy and his brothers
We drank to all his hellish brothers
Drinking to the companionship of Tommy's siblings
And we drank to home and the girls we've known
Toasting to home and past relationships with girls
Then had one for our mothers
Drinking in honor of mothers
Oh, we'll stay awhile to bide awhile
Reaffirming the intention to stay for a while
We'll never want to leave ya
Expressing the desire to remain in the current place
Oh, we'll stay awhile to bide awhile
Reiterating the commitment to stay for a while
'Til we come back to see ya
Planning to return to the location in the future
And then we sang those songs that we sang before
Singing familiar songs from the past
We sang that we would drink forever
Promising to continue drinking indefinitely
When the last drop passed our lips that day
Marking the end of the drinking session for the day
We sang this song together
Singing a shared song together
Oh, we'll stay awhile to bide awhile
Reaffirming the intention to stay for a while
We'll never want to leave ya
Expressing the desire to remain in the current place
Oh, we'll stay awhile to bide awhile
Reiterating the commitment to stay for a while
'Til we come back to see ya
Planning to return to the location in the future
