And we drank to home and the girls we've known, then had one for our mo-thers

And then we sang those songs that we sang before (whoop). We sang that we would drink for-e-ver

When the last drop passed our lips that day, we sang this song to-ge-ther
[Chorus 4]

Oh, we'll stay awhile to bide awhile. We'll never want to leave ya
C C F C C Am G C
Oh, we'll stay awhile to bide awhile 'til we come back to see ya
