Tell me ma when I go home

The boys won't leave the girls alone

They pulled my hair, they stole my comb

But that's all right till I go home

She is handsome, she is pretty

She is the bell of Belfast city

She is a-courting one, two, three

Please won't you tell me who is she



Tell me ma when I go home

The boys won't leave the girls alone

They pulled my hair, they stole my comb

But that's all right till I go home

She is handsome, she is pretty

She is the bell of Belfast city

She is a-courting 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

Knock at the door and they ring that bell

"Oh my true love, are you well?"

Out she comes as white as snow

Rings on her fingers and bells on her toes

Old Jimmy Murray says she will die

If she couldn't get the fellow with the roving eye.



Tell me ma when I go home

The boys won't leave the girls alone

They pulled my hair, they stole my comb

But that's all right till I go home

She is handsome, she is pretty

She is the bell of Belfast city

She is a-courting one, two, three

Please won't you tell me who is she



Let the wind and rain and the hail blow high

And the snow come tumblin' 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 'till she comes home

Let them all come as they will

For it's Albert Mooney she loves still





Tell me ma when I go home

The boys won't leave the girls alone
