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.[
