My Boy Willie 1952
Where have you been all the day, my boy Willie?
Where have you been all the day, Willie won't you tell me now?
I have been all the day courting up a lady gay
But she is too young to be taken from her mammy

Can she weave and can she spin, my boy Willie?
Can she weave and can she spin, Willie won't you tell me now?
She can weave, she can spin, she can do most anything
But she is too young to be taken from her mammy

Can she brew and can she bake, my boy Willie?
Can she brew and can she bake, Willie won't you tell me now?
She can brew, she can bake, she can bake a wedding cake
But she is too young to be taken from her mammy

How old is she then, my boy Willie?
How old is she then, Willie won't you tell me now?
Twice six, twice seven, twice twenty and eleven
But she is too young to be taken from her mammy
