Oh where have you been Billy boy Billy boy

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 bid me to come in

She's a dimple on her chin

She's a young thing and cannot leave her mother

Can she bake a cherry pie Billy boy Billy boy

Can she bake a cherry pie charming Billy

She can bake a cherry pie

Quick as a cat can wink her eye

She's a young thing and cannot leave her mother
