Billy Boy

Billy Boy

    G    
Oh, where have you been, 

      G    
Billy Boy, Billy Boy? 

    G    
Oh, where have you been, 

         D7 
Charming Billy? 

       D7 
I have been to seek a wife, 

          D7 
She's the joy of my life, 

        D7 
She's a young thing 

                     G    
And cannot leave her mother. 

 
        G    
Did she ask you to come in, 

      G    
Billy Boy, Billy Boy? 

        G    
Did she ask you to come in, 

         D7 
Charming Billy? 

         D7 
Yes, she asked me to come in, 

          D7 
There's a dimple in her chin. 

        D7 
She's a young thing 

                     G    
And cannot leave her mother. 

 
        G    
Can she make a cherry pie, 

      G    
Billy Boy, Billy Boy? 

        G    
Can she make a cherry pie, 

         D7 
Charming Billy? 

        D7 
She can make a cherry pie, 

           D7 
Quick as a cat can wink an eye, 

        D7 
She's a young thing 

                     G    
And cannot leave her mother. 

 
    G    
How old is she, 

      G    
Billy Boy, Billy Boy? 

    G    
How old is she, 

         D7 
Charming Billy? 

            D7 
Three times six and four times seven, 

       D7 
Twenty-eight and eleven, 

        D7    
She's a young thing 

                     G    
And cannot leave her mother.
