Tell me that you love me billy cline Tell me that your love is true as mine Tell me that you love your own turtle dove Tell me that you love me billy cline
Now who is it knows billy cline He lives at the foot of the hills In a shady nook by a babbling brook He runs his dear old father’s mill
Now if I was a little bird I’d never build my nest on the ground I’d build my nest in some tall oak tree Where the wild boys couldn’t tear it down
Now if I was a little fish I’d swim to the bottom of the sea I’d swim to the bottom of the deep blue sea Where no bad boys couldn’t catch me
