Billy Cline

Tell me that you love me billy cline

Tell me that your love is true as mine

Tell me that you love your own turtle dove

Tell me that you love me billy cline

Now who is it knows billy cline

He lives at the foot of the hills

In a shady nook by a babbling brook

He runs his dear old father’s mill

Now if I was a little bird

I’d never build my nest on the ground

I’d build my nest in some tall oak tree

Where the wild boys couldn’t tear it down

Now if I was a little fish

I’d swim to the bottom of the sea

I’d swim to the bottom of the deep blue sea

Where no bad boys couldn’t catch me
