Billy Boy - Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Red Garland

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.
