Chorus
I'll tell my ma when I go home,

The boys wont leave the girls alone,

They pull my hair and steal my comb,

but thats alright till I get home.

She is handsome she is pretty,

She is the belle o Belfast city,

She is courtin one two three,

please wont you tell me who is she.

verse 1

They ring at the door and rap at the bell,

Saying o' my true love are you well,

out she comes as white as snow,

Rings on her fingers,bells on her toes.

Auld johny Murpy says she'll die,

If she dont get the fellow wi' the roving eye,

Let them all come as they will,

It's Albert Mooney she loves still.

verse 2

Let the wind and the rain and the hail fall high,

And snaw come traveliing fae the sky,

She's as nice as Apple pie,

She'll get her ain lad bye and Bye

When she gets a lad of her own,

She wont tell her Ma when she gets home,

Let them all come as they will,

It's Albert Mooney she loves still.
