Billy 1911

Behold in me a maiden
who is feeling sad,
yearning for a wedding day,
It's just because I love a man
I feel so bad,
now that he has gone away,
though I have his picture near
it can't love and call me dear,
So I confess I'm hungry
for some real live love,
How I wish that Bill was here.

For when I walk
I always walk with Billy
cause Billy knows just where to walk,
and when I talk,
I always talk with Billy,
cause Billy knows just how to talk,
and when I dine I always dine with Billy,
he takes me where I get my fill,
And when I sleep
and when I sleep,
I always dream of Bill.

For when I walk
I always walk with Billy
cause Billy knows just where to walk,
and when I talk,
I always talk with Billy,
cause Billy knows just how to talk,
and when I dine I always dine with Billy,
he takes me where I get my fill,
And when I sleep
and when I sleep,
I always dream of Bill.

It seems somehow each man I meet
makes eyes at me,
But it only makes me blue,
and though each day
a lot of handsome chaps I see
to my sweetheart I'll be true,
I have kissed his picture till,
it no longer looks like Bill,
If he knew what was waiting for him
he'd come home,
Then my heart with joy he'd fill.

For when I walk
I always walk with Billy
cause Billy knows just where to walk,
and when I talk,
I always talk with Billy,
cause Billy knows just how to talk,
and when I dine I always dine with Billy,
he takes me where I get my fill,
And when I sleep
and when I sleep,
I always dream of Bill.

For when I walk
I always walk with Billy
cause Billy knows just where to walk,
and when I talk,
I always talk with Billy,
cause Billy knows just how to talk,
and when I dine I always dine with Billy,
he takes me where I get my fill,
And when I sleep
and when I sleep,
I always dream of Bill.
