Tell me ma when I get home
|
The boys won't leave the girls alone
|
They pull my hair they stole my combe
|
But that's all right till I go home
|
She is handsome she is pretty
|
She is the belle of Belfast City
|
She is a courting one, two, three
|
Prey won't you tell me who is she?
|
**Repeat Chorus**
|
Albert Mooney says he loves her
|
All the boys are fighting for her
|
Knock at the door and they ring that bell
|
Oh my true love, are you well
|
Out she comes as white as snow
|
Rings on her fingers, bells on her toes
|
Old Jenny Murray says she will die
|
If she doesn't get the fellow with the roving eye
|
**Chorus**
|
Let the wind and the rain and the hail go high
|
And snow some a tumbling from 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 till she comes home
|
Let them all come as they will for it's Albert Mooney she loves still
|
**Repeat chorus twice**
|
Let the wind and the rain and the hail go high
|
And snow some a tumbling from 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 till she comes home
|
Let them all come as they will for it's Albert Mooney she loves still
|
**Repeat chorus twice**
|
Tell me, tell me, tell me who is she
|
Tell me, tell me, tell me who is she
|
Tell me, tell me, tell me who is she
|
Tell me, tell me, tell me who is she (to fade
|
