C
I'll tell me ma when i go home
G C
The boys won't leave the girls alone
C
They pull my hair, they stole my comb,
G C
And that's all right till i go home
Chorus:
C F
She is handsome, she is pretty,
C G
She is the belle of Belfast city,
C F
She is courtin' one, two, three,
C G C
Please won't you tell me who is she?
C
Albert Mooney says he loves her,
G C
All the boys are fighting for her.
C
They rap at the door and they ring at the bell,
G C
Saying, 'Oh my true love are you well?'
C F
Out she comes as white as snow,
C G
Rings on her fingers, bells on her toes,
C F
Jenny Murphy says she'll die,
C G C
If she doesn't get the fellow with the roving eye.
Chorus
C
Let the wind and the rain and the hail blow high
G C
And the snow come shovelling from the sky
C
She's as nice as apple pie
G C
And she'll get her own lad by and by.
C F
When she gets a lad of her own
C G
She won't tell her ma when she gets home
C F
Let them all come as they will,
C G C
But it's Albert Mooney she loves still.
