Billy and the Good Girl

Oh where have you gone
Billy boy, Billy Boy?
Oh where have you gone
Charming Billy?

I've gone to find my wife
She's the darling of my life
She's a good girl and cannot leave her mother

Are her eyes still as bright
Billy boy, Billy Boy?
Are her eyes still as bright
Charming Billy?

Yes her eyes are still as bright
As the stars are in the night
She's a good girl and cannot leave her mother

And she always goes to church
Billy boy, Billy Boy?
She always goes to church
Charming Billy?

Yes she always goes to church
In a dress as white as burch
She's a good girl and cannot leave her mother

She always said she'd go and now she's gone
And though I believed her I guess I just held on
It's funny how we hear things different ways
Each according to a truth they face

And why are you so sad
Billy boy, Billy Boy?
And why are you so sad
Charming Billy?

I ache and I'm sad for a love I never had
She's a good girl and cannot leave her mother
She's a good girl and cannot leave her mother
