best, Garry Eliza Carthy sings Billy Boy
“Where have you been all the day, bonny boy, Billy Boy?
“Is she fit for your wife, bonny boy, Billy Boy?
“And did she ask you to sit down, bonny boy, Billy Boy?
“Did she light you up to bed, bonny boy, Billy Boy?
“Did she lie close to you, bonny boy, Billy Boy?
“Do you want to know her age, bonny boy, Billy Boy? |

21 May 00 - 06:46 AM (#231349) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Eliza Carthy From: GUEST,FP I seem to remember that in the notes to one of the 'Red Rice' CDs, Eliza Carthy says that all the songs/tunes on the CD are English EXCEPT for Billy Boy. I always thought this song came from the NE of England, but is it originally American (anyone know)? |
