Intro 1

Verse 1
D 
It was many years ago
G 
That you said you loved me so
D 
And the promise that you made me
A 
sounded true
D 
But the river had your soul
G 
And I knew that you would go
D 
A 
D 
For the beauty of that river held you too
G 
Now don't you leave me
D 
If you love me, darling, baby
But I don't think that I will
A 
make it if you go
D 
Cos I'm sad and oh so lonely
G 
D 
And I  don't think that I will be here
A 
D 
When you return, my Billy boy
And Enchantress was that river
G 
D 
For she held you in her grasp
A 
I was always standing waiting all alone
D 
While the river lapped below me
G 
Always happy, fancy free
D 
And I guess that's why you
A 
D 
loved her more than me
G 
So don't you leave me
D 
If you love me, darling, believe
Well, I don't think that I will
A 
make it if you go
D 
Because I'm sad and oh, so lonely
G 
D 
And I  don't think that I will be here
When you return,
A 
my Billy boy

Verse 2
D 
Now it's twenty years tomorrow
G 
D 
Since the river boats have gone
A 
D 
But at times I fancy I
A 
D 
A 
can hear them still
D 
And my Billy, like the boats he loved,
G 
has gone forevermore
D 
But the echo of those
A 
D 
words is ringing still
G 
Now don't you leave me if you love me,
D 
darling Billy
For I don't think that I will
A 
make it if you go
D 
Cause I'm sad and oh so lonely
G 
D 
And I  don't think that I will be here
A 
D 
When you return my Billy boy
G 
Now don't you leave me if
D 
you love me darling Billy
But I don't think that I will
A 
make it if you don't
D 
Cos I'm sad and oh so lonely
G 
D 
And I  don't think that I will be here
A 
D 
When you return my Billy Boy
Will be here when you re
A 
turn my Billy Boy
