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 idol of my life
She's a young thing And cannot leave her mother
She's a young thing And cannot leave her mother
Oh where does she live Billy Boy Billy Boy
Oh where does she live Charming Billy
She lives up on the hill Forty miles from the mill
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
Did she take your hat Billy Boy Billy Boy
Did she take your hat Charming Billy
Yes she took my hat and she threw it at the cat
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 but the bottom wasn't there
She's a young thing and cannot leave her mother
Is she very tall Billy Boy Billy Boy
Is she very tall Charming Billy
She's as tall as any pine and as straight as a pumpkin vine
She's a young thing And cannot leave her mother
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 idol of my life
She's a young thing And cannot leave her mother
She's a young thing And cannot leave her mother
She's a young thing And cannot leave her mother
She's a young thing And cannot leave her mother
