Oh, where have you been Billy Boy, Billy Boy
Oh, where have you been charming Billy
I have been to seek my 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
Can she sew and can she spin Billy Boy, Billy Boy
Can she sew and can she spin charming Billy

She's a young thing and cannot leave her mother
Is she often seen in church Billy Boy, Billy Boy
Is she often seen in church charming Billy
Yes she if often seen in church, with a bonnet white as birch
She's a young thing and cannot leave her mother
How old is she, Billy Boy, Billy Boy
How old is she, charming Billy

She's a young thing and cannot leave her mother
