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 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 fighting for her
 They knock at the door and ring at the bell
 Sayin' "Oh, my true love are you well?"
 Out she comes as white as snow
 Rings on her fingers and bells on her toes
 Ol' Jenny Murray says she'll die
 If she doesn't get the fella with the roving eye
 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 Belfast City
 She is courtin' one, two, three
 Please, won't you tell me who is she?
 Let the wind and the rain and the hail blow high
 The snow come tumblin' through the sky
 She's as nice as apple pie
 And she'll get her own lad 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
 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 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 Belfast City
 She is courtin' one, two, three
 Please, won't you tell me who is she?
