I'll Tell Me Ma Songtext
von Foster & Allen

I′ll tell me ma when I go home
The boys won't leave the girls alone
They′ll pull my hair, and they stole my comb
Well, that's alright 'til I go home

She is handsome, she is pretty
She is the belle of Belfast City
She is courtin′ one, two, three
Please, won′t you tell me, who is he?

Albert Mooney says he loves her
All the boys are fighting for her
They knock at the door, and they ring at the bell
I said, "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 roving eye


Let the wind and the rain and hail blow high
The snow come rumbling from the sky
She's as nice 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 comes 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′ll pull my hair, and they stole my comb
Well, that′s alright 'til I go home

She is handsome, she is pretty
She is the bell of Belfast City
She is courtin′ one, two, three
Please, won't you tell me, who is he?

Albert Mooney, he says he loves her
All the boys are fighting for her
They knock at the door, and they ring at the bell
I said, "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 roving eye

Let the wind and the rain and hail blow high
The snow comes rumbling from the sky
She′s as nice 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 comes home
Let them all come as they will
For it′s Albert Mooney she loves still
