  1. We Won't Go Home 'til Morning O

    Share Share Post
    Air: The Peeler and the Goat
    Come as we met let us not fret
    Whatever fate hangs o'er us oh
    A fig for care we'll drown despair
    In bumpers bright before us oh
    Come fill the bowl at our control
    The wreck of time now scorning oh.
    For though the night is calm and bright
    We wont go home till morning oh.
    II
    Now who would flee such company
    Though midnight is approaching oh
    Come trim the lamp, we'll have no damp
    The keg will still be broaching oh
    We'll call away, we'll drink and pay
    The cock may give us warning, oh,
    But all in vain, I say again
    We wont go home till morning oh.
