Where have you been all the day, My Boy Billy? Where have you been all the day, My Boy Billy? I have been all the day Courting of a lady gay; Although she is a young thing, And just come from her mammy. Is she fit to be thy love, My Boy Billy? Is she fit to be thy love, My Boy Billy? She's as fit to be my love As my hand is for my glove, Although she is a young thing, And just come from her mammy.

Is she fit to be thy wife, My Boy Billy? Is she fit to be thy wife, My Boy Billy? She's as fit to be my wife As my blade is for my knife; Although she is a young thing, And just come from her mammy. How old may she be, My Boy Billy? How old may she be, My Boy Billy? Twice six, twice seven, Twice twenty and eleven, Although she is a young thing, And just come from her mammy.
