Billy

Oh Billy Kirkpatrick was a man about town
The girls in his village always asked him around
He rode on his bicycle to school every day
Just to go past the house of Bella Mulcahy
On Wednesday last week she was down by the bay
The lads would come past but she'd turn them away
The finest in Dingle from the house on the hill
Billy said one day I'll marry that girl yes I will
I'd fight a gang of forty thieves, go the distance on my knees
I'd never sleep a wink for you, Just to hear that you love me too
La da da ah, la da da ah
La da da ah, ah-ah
La da da ah, la da da ah
La da da ah, ah-ah
La da da ah, la da da ah
La da da ah, ah-ah
La da da ah, la da da ah
La da da ah, ah-ah
I'd fight a gang of forty thieves, go the distance on my knees
I'd never sleep a wink for you, Just to hear that you love me too
I'd fight a gang of forty thieves, go the distance on my knees
I'd never sleep a wink for you, Just to hear that you love me too
He said hello Miss Bella may I sit with you here?
I'm Billy Kirkpatrick, been in your class for years
She said I know you Billy, I've seen you about town
And I've been waiting for years for you to sit down
I'd fight a gang of forty thieves, go the distance on my knees
I'd never sleep a wink for you, Just to hear that you love me too
I'd fight a gang of forty thieves, go the distance on my knees
I'd never sleep a wink for you, Just to hear that you love me too
