I'll tell me ma
when I go home
the boys won't leave the girls alone
they pulled my hair and stole my comb
but that's allright til I go home
She is handsome, she is pretty
she is the belle of Belfast city
she's courting one two three
please, won't you tell me who is she
Albert Mooney says he loves her
and all the boys are fightin for her
knockin at door ringin at bell
say Oh my true love, are you well?
Out she comes as white as snow
rings on the fingers, bells on the toes
oh johnny Murray says she'll die
if she doesn't get the fellow with the roving eye
I'll tell me ma
when I go home
the boys won't leave the girls alone
they pulled my hair and stole my comb
but that's allright til I go home
She is handsome, she is pretty
she is the belle of Belfast city
she's courting one two three
please, won't you tell me who is she
And the wind and the rain and hail blow high
and the snow come tumbling from the sky
she's as nice as apple pie
she'll get her own lad by and by
and when she gets a lay of her own
she won't tell her ma when she gets home
let them all come as they will
it's Albert Mooney she loves still
BUT AY
I'll tell me ma
when I go home
the boys won't leave the girls alone
they pulled my hair and stole my comb
but that's allright til I go home
She is handsome, she is pretty
she is the belle of Belfast city
she's courting one two three
please, won't you tell me who is she
wellI'll tell me ma
when I go home
the boys won't leave the girls alone
they pulled my hair and stole my comb
but that's allright til I go home
She is handsome, she is pretty
she is the belle of Belfast city
she's courting one two three
please, won't you tell me who is she
