"I'll Tell Me Ma" lyrics

"I'll Tell Me Ma"

I'll tell me ma when I get home
The boys won't leave the girls alone
Pull me hair and stolen me comb
But that's alright till I go home

She is handsome, she is pretty
She is the belle of Dublin city
She is a-courtin' one, two, three
Pray, can you tell me who is she?

Albert Mooney says he loves her
All the boys are fightin' for her
They're knockin' the door, they're ringin' the bell
Sayin', "Oh my true love, are you well?"

Out she comes as white as snow
Rings on her fingers, bells on her toes
Ole Jenny Murray says she'll die
If she doesn't get the fella with the rovin' eye

I'll tell me ma when I get home
The boys won't leave the girls alone
Pull me hair and stolen me comb
Well, that's alright till I go home

She is handsome, she is pretty
She is the belle of Dublin city
She is a'courting one, two, three
Pray, can you tell me who is she?
