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 |
