. . . I always dream of Bill, 1911.

Lyrics
- Behold in me a maiden who is feeling 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
And when I sleep and when I sleep
I always dream of Bill
- It seems some how each man I meet makes eyes at me
But it only makes me blue
And though each day a lot of handsome chaps I see
To my sweetheart I’ll be true
I have kissed his picture till
It no longer looks like Bill
If he knew what was waiting for him he’d come home
Then my heart with joy he’d fill
