|
I'll tell my ma when I get home, |
|
The boys won't leave the girls alone |
|
They pull my hair and stole my comb |
|
But that's all right till I go home |
|
She is handsome, she is pretty, |
|
She is the Belle of Belfast city |
|
She is a courtin' 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 |
|
Knock at the door and ring at the bell, |
|
Saying oh my true love, are you well |
|
Out she comes as white as snow, |
|
Rrings on her fingers, bells on her toes |
|
Ould Johnny Morrissey says she'll die |
|
If she doesn't get the fella with the roving eye |
|
Let the wind and the rain and the hail blow high |
|
And the snow come travellin' through 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 her ma when she gets home |
|
Let them all come as they will |
|
For it's Albert Mooney she loves still |
