Oh, where have you been, |
|
Billy Boy, Billy Boy? |
|
Oh, where have you been, |
|
Charming Billy? |
|
I have been to seek a wife, |
|
She's the joy of my life, |
|
She's a young thing |
|
And cannot leave her mother. |
|
|
|
Did she ask you to come in, |
|
Billy Boy, Billy Boy? |
|
Did she ask you to come in, |
|
Charming Billy? |
|
Yes, she asked me to come in, |
|
There's a dimple in her chin. |
|
She's a young thing |
|
And cannot leave her mother. |
|
|
|
Can she make a cherry pie, |
|
Billy Boy, Billy Boy? |
|
Can she make a cherry pie, |
|
Charming Billy? |
|
She can make a cherry pie, |
|
Quick as a cat can wink an eye, |
|
She's a young thing |
|
And cannot leave her mother. |
|
|
|
How old is she, |
|
Billy Boy, Billy Boy? |
|
How old is she, |
|
Charming Billy? |
|
Three times six and four times seven, |
|
Twenty-eight and eleven, |
|
She's a young thing |
|
And cannot leave her mother |
