I once had a lover named Billy McCoy
A7A7 D7D7
He lived by the river's big bend
G+G C majorC G+G
One warm summer day Billy wandered away
D7D7 G+G
He's gone but our love didn't end
C majorC G+G
They say he went down where the riverboats dock
A7A7 D7D7
With nary a cent in his jeans
G+G C majorC G+G
A augmentedA barefooted lad who could sing round the clock
D7D7 G+G
And wanted to see New Orleans
C majorC G+G
Where is my Billy my Billy McCoy
D7D7 G+G
Where is the boy of my dreams
C majorC G+G
Singing this song as the boat rolls along
D7D7 G+G E minorEm
Heading for ole New Orleans uhuh
G+G D7D7 G+G
Heading for ole New Orleans
C majorC G+G
He took his guitar and he sang very well
A7A7 D7D7
A augmentedA riverboat crew heard him there
G+G C majorC G+G
They took him aboard on the Big Dixie Bell
D7D7 G+G
To sing for his dinner and fare
C majorC G+G
I pray every night that he misses me so
A7A7 D7D7
And after he sees New Orleans
G+G C majorC G+G
He'll sing his way home for he loves me I know
D7D7 G+G
My barefooted boy in blue jeans
C majorC G+G
Where is my Billy my Billy McCoy
D7D7 G+G
Where is the boy of my dreams
C majorC G+G
Singing this song as the boat rolls along
D7D7 G+G E minorEm
Heading for ole New Orleans uhuh
