[Chorus]
Well I'll Ctell me ma when I get home
The Gboys won't leave the Cgirls alone
They Cpull my hair, they stole me clothes
But Gthat's alright 'til CI get home
CShe is handsome, Cadd11she is pretty
CShe's the belle of GDublin City
CShe is a courting. Cadd11One. Two. Three
CPlease won't you tell me Gwho is Cshe
[Verse 1]
Well CAlbert Mooney says he loves her
GAll the boys are Cfighting for her
CKnocking the door, ringing the bell
Saying:"GOh my true love, Care you well?"
COut she comes Cadd11white as snow
CRings on her fingers, Gbells on her toes
COld Jenny Murray Cadd11says she'll die
CIf she doesn't get the fellow with the Groving Ceye
[Chorus]
Well I'll Ctell me ma when I get home
The Gboys won't leave the Cgirls alone
They Cpull my hair, they stole me clothes
But Gthat's alright 'til CI get home
CShe is handsome, Cadd11she is pretty
CShe's the belle of GDublin City
CShe is a courting. Cadd11One. Two. Three
CPlease won't you tell me Gwho is Cshe
[Verse 2]
Let the Cwind and the rain and the hail blow high
And the Gsun come a-fallin' Cfrom the sky
CShe's as sweet as apple pie
She'll Gget her own lad Cby and by
CWhen she gets a Cadd11lad of her own
She Cwon't tell her ma when Gshe gets home
But Clet them all come Cadd11as they will
For it's CAlbert Mooney Gshe loves Cstill
[Chorus]
Well I'll Ctell me ma when I get home
The Gboys won't leave the Cgirls alone
They Cpull my hair, they stole me clothes
But Gthat's alright 'til CI get home
CShe is handsome, Cadd11she is pretty
