Melodi: Edw. L. White - Tekst: Ukendt
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 bid you to come in, Billy Boy, Billy Boy,
did she bid you to come in, charming Billy?
Yes, she bade me to come in,
there's a dimple in her chin,
she's a young thing and cannot leave her mother.
Did she set for you a chair, Billy Boy, Billy Boy,
did she set for you a chair, charming Billy?
Yes, she set for me a chair,
she has ringlets in her hair,
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 ean make a cherry pie,
quick's a cat can wink her eye,
she' s a young thing and cannot leave her mother.
