Chorus
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 OK til I go home
She is handsome she is pretty She is the belle of Belfast city
She's 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
The rap at the door and ring the bell saying Oh my true love are you well
Out she comes as white as snow rings on her fingers and bells on her toes
Jenny Murray says she'll die if she doesn't get the fella with the roving eye.
Chorus
Let the wind and the rain and the hail blow high and the snow come tumbling from the
sky.
She's as nice as apple pie and she'll get her own lad by and by
When she gets a lad of her own she won't tell her Ma til she goes home
But let them all come as they will; it's Albert Mooney that she loves still.
