I'LL TELL MY MA

C

I'll tell me ma when I get home

G C

The boys won't leave the girls alone

C

They pull my hair, they steal my comb

G C

But that's all right till I get home

C F

She is handsome, she is pretty

C G

She is the belle of Belfast city

C F

She is courting one, two, three

C G C

Hey, 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 ring the bell

Hey, my true love, are you well

Out she comes as white as snow

Rings on her fingers, bells on her toes

Our Jenny Murry says she'll die

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

Chorus

Let the wind and the rain and the hail go high

Snow come tumbling from the sky

She's as nice as apple pie

She'll get a fellow 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

It's Albert Mooney she loves still

Chorus Prepared by Mike Martin
