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 all right 'til I go home. |
She is handsome, she is pretty, |
She’s the belle of Belfast City, |
She goes courtin', a one, two, three |
Please won’t you tell me who is she? |
Now Albert Mooney says he loves her, |
Now the boys are fighting for her. |
Knockin' on the door and they’re ringin' the bell, sayin' |
«Oh my true love, are you well?» |
Out she comes as white as snow |
With rings on her fingers and bells on her toes. |
Johnny Murphy says she’ll die |
If she doesn’t get the fellow with the roving eye. |
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 all right 'til I go home. |
She is handsome, she is pretty, |
She’s the belle of Belfast City, |
She goes courtin', a one, two, three |
Please won’t you tell me who is she? |
Let the wind and the rain and the hail come high, |
And the snow come shoveling 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 comes home. |
Let them all come as they will |
It’s Patrick Murphy she loves still! |
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 all right 'til I go home. |
She is handsome, she is pretty, |
She’s the belle of Belfast City, |
She goes courtin', a one, two, three |
Please won’t you tell me who is she? |
