We'll all met here together,
We'll all met here together,
We'll all met here together,
  To eat and drink good cheer;

  To eat and drink good cheer,
    For we won't go home till morning,
    For we won't go home till morning,
    For we won't go home till morning,
      Till daylight does appear.

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;

    For we won't go home till morning,
    For we won't go home till morning,

  And they love us, tis clear;
  And they love us, tis clear;
     So we won't go home till morning,
     So we won't go home till morning,
     So we won't go home till morning,
