Billy McCoy Lyrics
Where is my Billy my Billy McCoy
Where is the boy of my dreams
Singing this song as the boat rolls along
Heading for ole New Orleans uhuh
Heading for ole New Orleans
I once had a lover named Billy McCoy
He lived by the river's big bend
One warm summer day Billy wandered away
He's gone but our love didn't end
They say he went down where the riverboats dock
With nary a cent in his jeans
A barefooted lad who could sing round the clock
And wanted to see New Orleans
Repeat #1
He took his guitar and he sang very well
A riverboat crew heard him there
They took him aboard on the Big Dixie Bell
To sing for his dinner and fare
I pray every night that he misses me so
And after he sees New Orleans
He'll sing his way home for he loves me I know
My barefooted boy in blue jeans
Repeat #1
Where is the boy of my dreams
Singing this song as the boat rolls along
Heading for ole New Orleans uhuh
Heading for ole New Orleans
He lived by the river's big bend
One warm summer day Billy wandered away
He's gone but our love didn't end
With nary a cent in his jeans
A barefooted lad who could sing round the clock
And wanted to see New Orleans
A riverboat crew heard him there
They took him aboard on the Big Dixie Bell
To sing for his dinner and fare
And after he sees New Orleans
He'll sing his way home for he loves me I know
My barefooted boy in blue jeans
