Tell Me Ma by Possibly Irish Lyrics
[Chorus]
Tell me ma when I go home
The boys won't leave the girls alone
They pull my hair and stole my comb
But that's alright, 'til I go home
She is handsome, she is pretty
She's the belle of Belfast City
She is courting, one, two, three
Please won't you tell me who is she?
[Verse 1]
Albert Mooney says he loves her
All the boys are fightin' for her
Knock at the door and they ring the bell
"Oh, my true, love arе you well?"
Here shе comes as white as snow
Rings on her fingers and bells on her toes
Old Johnny Murphy says "She'll die
If she doesn't get the fella with the roving-eye!"
[Chorus]
Tell me ma when I go home
The boys won't leave the girls alone
They pull my hair and stole my comb
But that's alright, 'til I go home
She is handsome, she is pretty
She's the belle of Belfast City
She is courting, one, two, three
Please won't you tell me who is she?
[Verse 2]
Let the wind and the rain and the hail blow high
And the snow come a-tumbling' from the sky
She's as nice as apple pie
She'll get her own boy, by and by
When she gets a lad of her own
She won't tell her ma 'til she comes home
Let the boys be as they will
For it's Albert Mooney she loves still
[Chorus]
Tell me ma when I go home
The boys won't leave the girls alone
They pull my hair and stole my comb
But that's alright, 'til I go home
She is handsome, she is pretty
She's the belle of Belfast City
She is 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 pull my hair and stole my comb
But that's alright, 'til I go home
She is handsome, she is pretty
She's the belle of Belfast City
She is 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 pull my hair and stole my comb
But that's alright, 'til I go home
She is handsome, she is pretty
She's the belle of Belfast City
She is courting, one, two, three
Please won't you tell me who is she?
[Outro]
She is handsome, she is pretty
She's the belle of Belfast City
She is 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 pull my hair and stole my comb
But that's alright, 'til I go home
She is handsome, she is pretty
She's the belle of Belfast City
She is courting, one, two, three
Please won't you tell me who is she?
