D    A  D
[Chorus]
I'll tDell me ma when I get home
The Aboys won't leave the Dgirls alone
They pulled me hair, they stole me comb
But Athat's all right till DI go home
She is handsome, Gshe is pretty
DShe's the Belle of ABelfast city
DShe is a courtin' a Gone two three
DPlease won't you tell me Awho is Dshe?
[Verse 1]
DAlbert Mooney says he loves her
AAll the boys are Dfightin' for her
Knock at the door, ring at the bell
And "AOh, me true love, Dare you well?"
Out she comes, Gwhite as snow
DRings on her fingers, Abells on her toes
DOld Johnny Morrissey Gsays she'll die
If she Ddoesn't get a Aman with the Droving eye
[Chorus]
I'll tDell me ma when I get home
The Aboys won't leave the Dgirls alone
They pulled me hair, they stole me comb
But Athat's all right till DI go home
She is handsome, Gshe is pretty
DShe's the Belle of ABelfast city
DShe is a courtin' a Gone two three
DPlease won't you tell me Awho is Dshe?
[Verse 2]
Let the Dwind and the rain and the hail blow high
And the Asnow comes tumbling Dfrom the sky
She's as sweet as apple pie
AShe'll get her own lad Dby and by
When she gets a Glad of her own
She Dwon't tell her ma when Ashe gets home
DLet them all come Gas they will
It's DAlbert Mooney Ashe loves Dstill
[Chorus]
