Did she bid you "Come in," Billy Boy, Billy Boy? Did she bid you; come in," charming Billy? Yes she bade me to come in, There's a dimple on her chin; She's a young thing and can not 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, there's a twinkle in her eye, She's a young thing and can not leave her mother.
