Lyrics Billy Boy - Miles Davis Sextet

Billy Boy

Oh where have you been, Billy boy, 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 can’t leave her mother
Did she bid you to come in
Billy boy, Billy boy
Did she bid you to come in, Charming Billy
Yes, she bid me to come in
There’s a dimple on her chin
She’s a young thing and can’t leave her mother
Did she offer you a chair
Billy Boy, billy boy
Did she offer you a char, charming Billy
Yes, she offered me a chair
She has ringlets in her hair
She’s a young thing and can’t leave her mother
Can she bake a cherry pie
Billy boy, Billy boy
Can she bake a cherry pie, charming Billy
She can bake a cherry pie quick
As a cat can wink her eye
She’s a young thing and can’t leave her mother
Tell me how old is he
Billy boy, Billy Boy
Tell me how old is he, charming Billy
Three times six and four times seven
Twenty-eight and eleven
She’s a young thing and can’t leave her mother
She’s a young thing and can’t leave her mother.
