Billy Boy Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Oh,[G][D]
[G]where have you been,
Billy boy, Billy boy?
Oh, where have you been, charming [D]Billy?
I have been to seek a wife,
she's the [G]joy of my life.
She's a young thing
and [D]cannot leave her [G]mother.
Did she ask you to come in,
Billy boy, Billy boy?
Did she ask you to come in,
charming [D]Billy?
Yes, she asked me to come in,
and there's a [G]dimple in her chin,
But she's a young thing
and [D]cannot leave her [G]mother.
Did she sit for you a chair,
Billy boy, Billy boy?
Did she sit for you a chair,
charming [D]Billy?
Yes, she's set for me a chair,
And she's got [G]ringlets in her hair,
But she's a young thing,
And [D]cannot leave her mother.
[G]Can she bake a cherry pie,
Billy boy, Billy boy?
Can she bake a cherry pie,
Charming [D]Billy?
She can bake a cherry pie,
Quick as a [G]cat can wink and sigh,
But she's a young thing
and [D]cannot leave her mother.
[G]How old is she, Billy boy, Billy boy?
How old is she, charming [D]Billy?
Three times six
and four times seven,
twenty [G]-eight and eleven.
She's a young thing
and [D]cannot leave her mother.
[G]you[D]
[G]
