[Verse 1]
Billy's fair and Billy's rare
Billy's wondrous bonny
And Billy promised to marry me
If e'er he'd marry any
And Billy promised to marry me
If e'er he'd marry any

[Verse 2]
Late last night I'm in my bed
Thinking on my lover
And there I waited all night long
My heart won't take another
And there I waited all night long
My heart won't take another

[Verse 3]
Came you by yon water side
Past the rose and lily?
Or came you by yon meadow green
Or saw you my sweet Billy?
Or came you by yon meadow green
Or saw you my sweet Billy?
My Billy
My Billy
[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 4]
She's sought him east and she's sought him west
She sought him broad and narrow
She sought him into another's arms
Thе fairest of all Yarrow
She sought him into another's arms
Thе fairest of all Yarrow
The fairest of all Yarrow
All Yarrow

[Outro]
All Yarrow
Ah
Da da da, dee da dee
Da dee da, dee da
Da da da
