I'll Tell Me Ma lyrics

I'll tell me Ma when I go home

The boys won't leave the girls alone

They pull my hair, they stole my comb

But that's alright till I go home

She is handsome, she is pretty

She is the belle of the Belfast city

She is courtin', one, two, three

Please won't you tell me, who is she?

Albert Mooney says he loves her

All the boys are fightin' for her

They knock on the door, ringin' the bell

Sayin', "My true love, are you well?"

Out she comes as white as snow

Rings on her fingers, bells on her toes

Jenny Murray says she'll die

If she doesn't get the fellow with the rovin' eye

The wind and the rain and the hail go high

Snow comes tumblin' from the sky

She's as nice as apple pie

She'll get a fellow by and by

When she gets a lad of her own

She won't tell her Ma when she gets home

Let them all come as they will

For it's Albert Mooney she loves still

l'll tell me Ma when I go home

The boys won't leave the girls alone

They pull my hair, they stole my comb

But that's alright till I go home

She is handsome, she is pretty

She is the belle of the Belfast city

She is courtin', one, two, three

Please won't you tell me, who is she?

I'll tell me Ma when I go home

The boys won't leave the girls alone

They pull my hair, they stole my comb

But that's alright till I go home

She is handsome, she is pretty

She is the belle of the Belfast city

She is courtin', one, two, three

Please won't you tell me, who is she?
