COMPLETE LYRICS:

Oh where have you been,
Billy Boy, Billy Boy?
Where have you been,
Charmin' Billy?
I have been to seek a wife,
She's the apple of my life,
She's a young thing
That 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,
Who 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.

Did she take your hat,
Billy Boy, Billy Boy?
Did she take your hat,
Charming Billy?
Well yes she took my hat,
and she threw it at the cat.
She's a young thing,
That cannot leave her mother.

How tall is she,
Billy Boy, Billy Boy?
How tall is she,
Charming Billy?
She's tall as a pine,
And straighter than a vine.
She's a young thing
Who cannot leave her mother.

Can she fry a dish of meat,
Billy Boy?
Can she fry a dish of meat,
Charming Billy?
Yes, she can fry a dish of meat,
As fast as I can eat,
She's a young thing
Who cannot leave her mother.
