I'll Tell My Ma

 

Key <D>

 

I'll tell my ma when I get home

The boys won't leave the girls alone

Pull my hair stole my comb

But that's alright till I get home

 

She is handsome she is the bell of Belfast City

She is counting on two three

Pray won't you tell me who is she

 

Albert Mooney say he loves her

All the boys are fighting for her

They knock at the door and they ring the bell

Saying oh my true love are you well

Out she come white as snow

Rings on her finger and bells on her toes

Old Jenny Murray says she'll die

If she doesn't get the fellow with the roving eye

 

Let the wind and the rain and the hail blow high

The moon is drifting across 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 ma when she gets home

Let them all come as they will

It's Albert Mooney she loves still
