I'll Tell Me Ma

I’ll tell me ma, when I go home
The boys won’t leave the girls alone they
Pulled me hair, they stolen me comb
But that’s alright, till I go home
She is handsome, she is pretty
She is the belle of Belfast city
She is a-courting one, two, three
Please don’t you tell me who is she?
Albert Mooney says he loves her
All the boys are fightin' for her
Knock at the door, they’re ringin' the bell
«Hello, my true love are you well?»
Out she comes 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 roving eye
She is handsome, she is pretty
She is the belle of Belfast city
She is a-courting one, two, three
Please won’t you tell me who is she?
Bridge
Let the wind and the rain and the hail blow high
And the snow come shovelin' through the sky
She’s as sweet as apple pie
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
She is handsome, she is pretty
She is the belle of Belfast city
She is a-courting one, two, three
Please won’t you tell me who is she?
