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, till I get home

She is handsome, she is pretty
She is the belle of Belfast city
She is a-courting one, two, three
Please, would you tell me who is she?
She is handsome, she is pretty
She is the belle of Belfast city
She is a-courting one, two, three
Please, would you tell me who is she?

Albert Mooney says he loves her
All the boys are fightin' for her
They're knocking at the door and they're ringin' the bell
Saying, "Hello, my true love are you well?"

Out she comes as white as snow
Rings on her fingers, bells on her toes
Ol' 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, would you tell me who is she?
She is handsome, she is pretty
She is the belle of Belfast city
She is a-courting one, two, three
Please, would you tell me who is she?

Let the wind and the rain and the hail blow high
And the snow come tumbling from 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 comes 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, would you tell me who is she?
She is handsome, she is pretty
She is the belle of Belfast city
She is a-courting one, two, three
Please, would you tell me who is she?

She is handsome, she is pretty
She is the belle of Belfast city
She is a-courting one, two, three
Please, would you tell me who is she?

She is handsome, she is pretty
She is the belle of Belfast city
She is a-courting one, two, three
Please, would you tell me who is she?
