I'll Tell Me Ma ft. Eric Ryan-Johnson Lyrics

I'll tell me ma when I go home

The boys won't leave the girls alone

They pull my hair, and stole my comb

Well, that's alright, 'til I go home

She is handsome, she is pretty

She is the belle of Belfast City

She is a-courting one, two, three

Please, 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 a ring of the bell

Sayin' oh, my true love, are you well?

Out she comes, as white as snow

Rings on her fingers and bells on her toes

Old Johnny Murray says, "She will die

If she doesn't get the fella with the roving eye"

I'll tell me ma when I go home

The boys won't leave the girls alone

They pull my hair, and stole my comb

Well, that's alright, 'til I go home

She is handsome, she is pretty

She is the belle of Belfast City

She is a-courting one, two, three

Please, won't you tell me who is she?

Wind and the rain and the hail blow high

And the snow come 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, when she goes home

Let them all come, as they will

It's Albert Mooney she loves still

I'll tell me ma when I go home

The boys won't leave the girls alone

They pull my hair, and stole my comb

Well, that's alright, 'til I go home

She is handsome, she is pretty

She is the belle of Belfast City

She is a-courting one, two, three

Please, won't you tell me who is she?

I'll tell me ma when I go home

The boys won't leave the girls alone

They pull my hair, and stole my comb

Well, that's alright, 'til I go home

She is handsome, she is pretty

She is the belle of Belfast City

She is a-courting one, two, three

Please, won't you tell me who is she?

I'll tell me ma when I go home

The boys won't leave the girls alone

They pull my hair, and stole my comb

Well, that's alright, 'til I go home

She is handsome, she is pretty

She is the belle of Belfast City

She is a-courting one, two, three

Please, won't you tell me who is she?
