"Oh, Where are you going, Billy, Billy boy?" As sung by Mrs. N. C. Waugh JAF, XXXI (1918), p.78. From Ontario, Canada.

"Oh, where are you going,
  Billy, Billy boy?
Oh, where are you going,
  my darling Billy?"
"To marry me a wife
  for the comfort of my life.
But she was too young,
  and she couldn't leave her mammy."
