Vaughn Monroe Billy Boy Billy Boy Lyrics

(W) Oh where have you been? Billy Boy, Billy Boy
Oh where have you been? Charmin' Billy.
(VM) I've been up the road above,
Just a visitin' my love.
She's a young thing, and cannot leave her
mother.

(W) Did she ask you to tea? Billy Boy, Billy Boy
Did she ask you to tea? Chamin' Billy.
(VM) Yes she asked me in to tea
Then she sat upon my knee.
She's a young thing, and cannot leave her
mother.

(W) Can she bake a cherry pie?
(VM) In the twinkling of an eye.
(W) Is she fitted for your wife?
(VM) As my pocket for my knife.

(W) Did you ask her to wed? Billy Boy,Billy Boy
Did you ask her to wed? Charmin' Billy.
(VM) Yes, I asked her would she wed,
And what do you think she said?
'I'm a young thing, but I will leave my
mother'.
MUSICAL INTERLUDE

(W) Just for you, Billy Boy
Just for you, Billy Boy
(VM) Just for me, just for me
And no other.
I've been waitin' a long time,
For those wedding bells to chime.
She's a young thing, but she will leave
her mother.

(W) Do you love her? Billy Boy
Do you love her? Billy Boy
(VM) Yes I love her, but not like a brother.
Yes I've thought of everything,
Here's the license, here's the ring.
She's a young thing, whose gonna leave
her mother.

(VM) Just for me (W) Billy Boy
(VM) Just for me (W) Billy Boy
(VM) Just for me, just for me
and no other.
When she's mine and mine alone,
She won't need a chaperone.
She's a young thing whose gonna leave
her mother.

(VM&W) Oh, she's gonna leave her mother.
