Dubliners I`ll Tell Me Ma Lyrics

I`ll Tell Me Ma Lyrics

I'll tell me ma

when I go home

the boys won't leave

the girls
alone.

They pulled me hair

and stole me comb,

but that's
alright

'till I get home.



She is handsome,

she is
pretty,

she is the belle of Belfast city.

She is 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 rap at the
door,

they ring at the bell,

'Oh, me 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 a
fella with the rovin' eye.



She is handsome,

she is
pretty,

she is the belle of Belfast city.

She is courtin' one two
three.

Pray can you tell me who is she?



Let the wind and the
rain and the hail blow high

and the snow come tumblin' 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

it's Albert Mooney she
loves still.



She is handsome,

she is pretty,

she is
the belle of Belfast city.

She is courtin' one two three.

Pray can
you tell me who is she?
