Billy Mccoy chords by Jim Ed Brown

C                    G
Where is my Billy my Billy McCoy

D7                     G
Where is the boy of my dreams

C                        G
Singing this song as the boat rolls along

            D7        G      Em
Heading for ole New Orleans uhuh

G           D7        G
Heading for ole New Orleans

                         C       G
I once had a lover named Billy McCoy

                A7          D7
He lived by the river's big bend

    G                     C         G
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        G
And wanted to see New Orleans


C                    G
Where is my Billy my Billy McCoy

D7                     G
Where is the boy of my dreams

C                        G
Singing this song as the boat rolls along

            D7        G      Em
Heading for ole New Orleans uhuh

G           D7        G
Heading for ole New Orleans


                          C         G
He took his guitar and he sang very well

            A7             D7
A riverboat crew heard him there

     G                      C         G
They took him aboard on the Big Dixie Bell

                D7         G
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          G
My barefooted boy in blue jeans


C                    G
Where is my Billy my Billy McCoy

D7                     G
Where is the boy of my dreams

C                        G
Singing this song as the boat rolls along

            D7        G      Em
Heading for ole New Orleans uhuh

G           D7        G
