Billy's fair and Billy's rare And Billy's wondrous bonny And Billy promised to marry me If e'er he'd marry any And Billy promised to marry me If e'er he'd marry any
Late last night I'm in my bed Waiting on my lover And there I waited all night long My heart won't take another Oh there I waited all night long My heart won't take another
Came you by yon water side Past the rose and lily Or came you by yon meadow green Or saw you my sweet Billy Or came you by yon meadow green Or saw you my sweet Billy
She's sought him east And she's sought him west She sought him broad and narrow She shought him in another's arms The fairest of all Yarrow She shought him in another's arms The fairest of all Yarrow
