I once had a lover named Billy McCoy
A7

He lived by the river’s big bend

One warm summer day Billy wandered away
D7
G
He’s gone but our love didn’t end
C
G
They say he went down where the riverboats dock
A7
D7
With nary a cent in his jeans
G
C
G
A barefooted lad who could sing round the clock
D7

And wanted to see New Orleans
C

Where is my Billy my Billy McCoy
D7

Where is the boy of my dreams

Singing this song as the boat rolls along

He took his guitar and he sang very well
A7

A riverboat crew heard him there
G
C

They took him aboard on the Big Dixie Bell
D7

To sing for his dinner and fare
C
G
I pray every night that he misses me so
A7
D7
And after he sees New Orleans
G
C
G
He’ll sing his way home for he loves me I know
D7

My barefooted boy in blue jeans
C

Where is my Billy my Billy McCoy
D7

Where is the boy of my dreams
C

Singing this song as the boat rolls along
