Ill Tell Me Ma

For Nolan’s Irish Pub Session Players I’LL TELL ME MA - THE DUBLINERS I’ll tell me ma when I get home the boys won’t leave the girls alone They pulled me hair they stole me comb but that’s all right till I go home. She is handsome she is pretty she’s the Belle of Belfast city She is a courtin’ a one two three Please won’t you tell me who is she? Albert Mooney says he loves her all the boys are fightin’ for her Knock at the door ring at the bell and "Oh me true love are you well?" Out she comes white as snow rings on her fingers bells on her toes Old Johny Morrissey says she’ll die if she doesn’t get a fella with the roving eye. I’ll tell me ma when I get home the boys won’t leave the girls alone They pulled me hair they stole me comb but that’s all right till I go home. She is handsome she is pretty she’s the Belle of Belfast city She is a courtin’ a one two three Please won’t you tell me who is she?
