I'll Tell Me Ma!

I'll tell me ma

When I go home

The boys won't leave

The girls alone

They pulled my hair

They stole my comb

But that's alright

Til I go home

She is handsome she is pretty

She is the belle of dublin city

She is courting one, two, three

Pray would 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 they ring at the bell saying

"Oh, my true love are you well"

Out she comes as white as snow

With rings on her fingers

And bells on her toes

Ol' jenny 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

They stole my comb

But that's alright

Til I go home

She is handsome she is pretty

She is the belle of dublin city

She is courting one, two, three

Pray would you tell me who is she

Let the wind and the rain and the breeze blow high

And the snow come falling from the sky

She's as sweet as apple pie

She'l get her own lad by and by

When she gets a lot of her own

She won't tell her ma when she gets home

Let them all say as they will

For albert mooney she loves still

I'll tell me ma

When I get home

The boys won't leave

The girls alone

They pulled my hair

They broke my comb

But that's alright

Til I get home

She is handsome she is pretty

She is the belle of dublin city

She is courting one, two, three

Pray would 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 they ring at the bell saying

"Oh, my true love are you well"

Out she comes as white as snow

With rings on her fingers

And bells on her toes

Ol' jenny 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

They stole my comb

But that's alright

Til I go home

She is handsome she is pretty

She is the belle of dublin city

She is courting one, two, three

Pray would you tell me who is she
