45.   BILLY BOY

Oh, where have you been, Billy Boy (2x)

Oh, where have you been, charming Billy?

I’ve been to seek a wife.

She is the joy of my life.

She’s a young thing and cannot leave her mother.

Did she bid you to come in Billy Boy (2x) ?

Did she bid you to come, 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.

Can she make a cherry pie, Billy Boy (2x)

Can she make a cherry pie, charming Billy?

She can make a cherry pie,

Quick’s a cat wink her eye

She’s a young thing and cannot leave her mother

How old is she, Billy Boy (2x)

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.
