i ll tell my ma

the chieftains'in seslendirdiği eğlenceli irlanda şarkısı:

i'll tell me ma when i go home
the boys won't leave the girls alone
they pull my hair and they stole my comb
but that's all right till i go home

she is handsome, she is pretty,
she is the belle of belfast city
she is courting 1, 2, 3
please won't you tell me who is she?

albert mooney says he loves her
all the boys are fighting for her
they knock on the door and they ring the bell
saying oh my true love are you well?
out she comes as white as snow
with rings on her finger and bells on her toes
ol' jenny murray says she'll die
if she doesn't get the lad with the roving eye

let the wind and the rain and the hail blow high
and the snow come tumblin' from the sky
she's as nice as apple pie,
she'll get her own lad by and by
when she gets a lad of her own
she won't tell her ma when she comes home
let them all come as they will
for it's albert mooney she loves still
