|
I'll tell me ma, when I go home, |
|
The boys won't leave the girls alone. |
|
They pull my hair, they stole my comb, |
|
And that's alright till I go home. |
|
She is handsome, she is pretty, |
|
She's the belle of Belfast city, |
|
She is courtin', one, two, three, |
|
Please won't you tell me who is she? |
|
|
|
Albert Mooney says he loves her, |
|
All the boys are fighting for her. |
|
They rap at the door and they ring at the bell, |
|
Saying 'Oh, my true-love are you well?' |
|
Out she comes as white as snow, |
|
Rings on her fingers, bells on her toes, |
|
Old Jenny Murphy says she'll die, |
|
If she doesn't get the fellow with the roving eye. |
|
|
|
I'll tell me ma, when I go home, |
|
The boys won't leave the girls alone. |
|
They pull my hair, they stole my comb, |
|
And that's alright till I go home. |
|
She is handsome, she is pretty, |
|
She's the belle of Belfast city, |
|
She is courtin', one, two, three, |
|
Please won't you tell me who is she? |
|
|
|
Let the wind and the rain and the hail blow high |
|
And the snow come tumblin' from the sky |
|
She's as sweet as apple pie |
|
And 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. |
|
|
|
I'll tell me ma, when I go home, |
|
The boys won't leave the girls alone. |
|
They pull my hair, they stole my comb, |
|
And that's alright till I go home. |
|
She is handsome, she is pretty, |
|
She's the belle of Belfast city, |
|
She is courtin', one, two, three, |
|
Please won't you tell me who is she? |
