TELL ME MA

 

TELL ME MA

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? 

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? 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 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?

 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 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?
