We Won’t go Home Till Morning

This song seemed familiar, but there are a couple of places where it isn’t quite familiar.  And then I realized – it is “for he’s a jolly good fellow” – almost anyway. By pedigree they share the same tune, technically.

1

We’re all met here together,

We’re all met here together,

We’re all met here together.

To eat and drink good cheer.

To eat and drink good cheer,

To eat and drink good cheer,

Coda

For we won’t go home till morning,

We won’t go home till morning,

We won’t go home till morning,

Till day light does appear.

2

We’ll sing, we’ll dance and be merry,

We’ll sing, we’ll dance and be merry,

We’ll sing, we’ll dance and be merry,

And kiss the lasses dear;

And kiss the lasses dear;

And kiss the lasses dear;

Coda

The girls we love them dearly,

The girls we love them dearly,

The girls we love them dearly,

And they love us, tis clear;

And they love us, tis clear;

And they love us, tis clear;

Coda
