Official Lyrics
O, where have you been all the day,
My boy Willie?
O, where have you been all the day,
Willie, won’t you tell me now?
I’ve been all the day, courting a lady gay,
But she is too young to be taken from her Mammy.
O, can she brew, and can she bake,
My boy Willie?
O, can she brew, and can she bake,
Willie, won’t you tell me now?
she can brew, and she can bake,
and she can make a wedding cake,
But she is too young to be taken from her Mammy.
O, can she knit, and can she spin,
My boy Willie?
O, can she knit, and can she spin,
Willie, won’t you tell me now?
She can knit, and she can spin,
and she can do ‘most anything,
But she is too young to be taken from her Mammy.
O, how old is she now,
My boy Willie?
O, how old is she now,
Willie, won’t you tell me now?
Twice six, twice sev’n,
Twice twenty and eleven,
But she is too young to be taken from her Mammy.
