Granny:
Oh, where have you been, Billy boy, Billy boy?
Oh, where have you been, charmin' Billy?
Hiram:
I have been to seek a wife
She's the joy of my life
She's a young thing
And cannot leave her mother
Granny:
Did she bid you to come in, Billy boy, Billy boy?
Did she bid you to come in, charmin' Billy?
Hiram:
Yes, she bade me to come in
There's a dimple in her chin
She's a young thing
And cannot leave her mother
Granny:
Did she set for you a chair, Billy boy, Billy boy?
Did she set for you a chair, charmin' Billy?
Hiram:
Yes, she set for me a chair
She has ringlets in her hair
She's a young thing
And cannot leave her mother
Granny:
Can she bake a cherry pie, Billy boy, Billy boy?
Can she bake a cherry pie, charmin' Billy?
Hiram:
She can bake a cherry pie
Quick as a cat can wink its eye
She's a young thing
And cannot leave her mother
Granny:
Is she often seen in church, Billy boy, Billy boy?
Is she often seen in church, charmin' Billy?
Hiram:
Yes, she's often seen in church
With a bonnet white as birch
She's a young thing
And cannot leave her mother
Granny:
Can she sing a pretty song, Billy boy, Billy boy?
Can she sing a pretty song, charmin' Billy?
Hiram:
She can sing a pretty song
But she often sings it wrong
She's a young thing
And cannot leave her mother
Granny:
How old is she, Billy boy, Billy Boy?
How old is she, charmin' Billy?
Hiram:
Three times six, four times seven
Twenty-eight and eleven
Oh, she's a young thing
And cannot leave her mother
Both:
She's a young thing
And cannot leave her mother
