Verse:

Behold in me a maiden who is feelin' sad.  Yearning for a wedding day.

It's just because I love a man I feel so bad,  Now that he has gone away,
Though I have his picture near,  It can't love and call me dear.

So I confess I'm hungry for some real live love,  How I wish that Bill were here.

 

Chorus:

For when I walk,  I always walk with Billy,  'Cause Billy knows just where to walk,

And when I talk,  I always talk with Billy,  'Cause Billy knows just how to talk.

And when I dine, I always dine with Billy,  He takes me where I get my fill.

Want you to know,  I love him so,  I just want to be with Bill.
