I'll Tell My MaChorus
C
I'll tell my ma when I go home
G C
The boys won't leave the girls alone
C
They pulled my hair and they stole my comb
G C
But that's alright 'til I go home.
C F
She is handsome she is pretty
C G
She is the belle of Belfast City
C F
She is courting 1, 2, 3,
C G C
Please won't you tell me who is she?C
Albert Mooney says he loves her
G C
All the boys are fighting for her
C
Knock at the door and ring the bell
G C
Say, oh, my true love, are you well ChorusC
Out she comes as white as snow
G C
Rings on her fingers, bells on her toes
C
Our Jenny Murry says she'll die
G C
If she doesn't get the fellow with the roving eye ChorusC
Let the wind and the rain and the hail go high
G C
Snow come tumbling from the sky
C
She's as nice as apple pie
G C
She'll get her own boy by and by ChorusC
When she gets a lad of her own
G C
She won't tell her ma when she gets home
C
Let them all come as they will
G C
It's Albert Mooney she loves still Chorus
