A once popular Scotch song.
O we're a' noddin, nid nid noddin,

And how many bairns hae ye now? Bairns I hae five.
We Won't Go Home Till Morning (P.P. 7)
Said in the London Singer's Magazine (c. 1839) to be written and composed by C. Blondel (‘adapted and arranged’ might be more correct). The tune is founded on an air known as Malbrough, or Malbrook, which originated during the Duke of Marlborough's campaign, 1704–1709, known as ‘The War of the Spanish Succession.’
