Traditional

1. Oh where have you been 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

2. Did she bid you to come in Billy boy
Did she bid you to come in charming Billy?
Yes she bade me to come in
Let me kiss her on her chin
She's a young thing and cannot leave her mother

3. Did she set for you a chair Billy boy
Did she set for you a chair charming Billy?
Yes she set for me a chair
And the bottom wasn't there
She's a young thing and cannot leave her mother

4.=1.
