Tell Me Ma * - Dubliners

I'll tell me ma when I get home, the boys won't leave the girls alone,

They pulled me hair, they stole me comb but that's all right till I go home.

She is handsome, she is pretty she's the Belle of Belfast city,
D G D A D
She is a courtin' a one two three, Please won't you tell me who is she?

Albert Mooney says he loves her, all the boys are fightin' for her,
D A D
Knock at the door, ring at the bell, and "Oh, me true love, are you well?"
D G D A
Out she comes, white as snow, rings on her fingers, bells on her toes
D G D A D
Old Johny Morrissey says she'll die, if she doesn't get a fella with the roving
eye.

I'll tell me ma when I get home, the boys won't leave the girls alone,

Let the wind and the rain and the hail blow high, and the snow comes a travelin'

She's as sweet as an apple pie, she'll get her own lad by and by,
D G D A
When she gets a lad of her own, she won't tell her ma when she gets home.
D G D A D
Let them all come as they will, It's Albert Mooney she loves still.
