Tell Me Ma (Belfast City) |
| Tell me, ma, when I go home |
| The boys won’t leave the girls alone |
| They pull my hair, they 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 |
| Pray, 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 and bells on her toes |
| Old Johnny Murray says, «She will die |
| If she doesn’t get the fella with the roving eye» |
| Tell me, ma, when I go home |
| The boys won’t leave the girls alone |
| They pull my hair, they 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 |
| Pray, won’t you tell me who is she? |
| Let the 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, 'til she comes home |
| Let them all come, as they will |
| For it’s Albert Mooney she loves still |
| Tell me, ma, when I go home |
| The boys won’t leave the girls alone |
| They pull my hair, they 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 |
| Pray, won’t you tell me who is she? |
| Belfast City it’s the only place to be |
| Belfast City it’s a place for you and me |
| Belfast City it’s the only place to be |
| Belfast City it’s a place for you and me |
| Tell me, ma, when I go home |
| The boys won’t leave the girls alone |
| They pull my hair, they 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 |
| Pray, won’t you tell me who is she? |
| Tell me, ma, when I go home |
| The boys won’t leave the girls alone |
| They pull my hair, they 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 |
| Pray, won’t you tell me who is she? |
| Belfast City it’s the only place to be |
| Belfast City it’s a place for you and me |
| Belfast City it’s the only place to be |
| Belfast City it’s a place for you and me |
