I'll Tell Me Ma (Trad.)


'll tell me Ma when I get home
The boys won't leave the girls alone
Pull my hair and they stole my comb
That's allright when I get home

She is handsome, she is pretty
She is the belle o' Dublin City
She is a-courtin', one two three
Please will you tell me, who is she?

Albert Mooney says he loves her
All the boys are fightin' for her
Knock at eh door and they ring the bell
"Oh, my true love, are you well?"

She is handsome she is pretty...

Out she comes as white as snow
Rings on her fingers and bells on her toes
Old Johnny Murray says she'll die
If she don't get a fellow with a rovin' eye

She is handsome she is pretty...

Let the wind and the rain and the hail blow high
Snow comes travelling from the sky
She's as nice as apple pie
She'll get her own lad by and by

She is handsome she is pretty...

Whe she gets a lad of her own
She won't tell her ma when she gets home
Let them all come as they will
It's Gerry from Derry she loves still.

She is handsome she is pretty...
