I'll Tell Me Ma
I'll tell me ma when I get home,
the boys won't leave the girls alone
Pulled me hair, stole me comb but that's all right till I go home
Chorus:
She is handsome, she is pretty,
she is the Belle of our fair city
She is a courtin' a one two three,
Please wont you tell me who is she
Albert Mooney says he loves her,
all the boys are fightin' for her
Knock'n at the door and ring'n at the bell,
saying Oh, me true love, are you well
Out she comes, as white as snow,
With rings on her fingers, bells on her toes
Ould Johnny Morrissey says she'll die
if she doesn't get the fella with the roving eye
Chorus:
Let the wind and the rain and the hail blow high
and the snow come travellin' through 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 gets home
Let them all come as they will
for it's Albert Mooney she loves still
Chorus:
