        And when his Fdaddy would visit he'd Ccome along
        When they'd gather 'round and started talking
        G7That's when Billy would take me walking
        A-through the back yard we'd go walking
        Then he'd look into my eyes
        Lord knows to my surprise

        He'd kiss and tell me everything is all right
        Can I get away again tonight
