I’ll tell me ma, when I go home

The boys won't leave the girls alone

Pulled me hair, stolen me comb

But that's alright, till I go home

She is handsome, she is pretty

She is the belle of Dublin city

She is a-courting one, two, three

Pray, can you tell me who is she?

​

Albert Mooney says he loves her

All the boys are fightin' for her

Knock at the door, they're ringin' the bell

Say "Hello, my true love are you well?"

Out she comes white as snow

Rings on her fingers, bells on her toes

Ol' Jenny Murray says that she'll die
If she doesn't get the fellow

with the roving eye

​

I’ll tell me ma, when I go home

The boys won't leave the girls alone

Pulled me hair, stolen me comb

But that's alright, till I go home

She is handsome, she is pretty

She is the belle of Dublin city

She is a-courting one, two, three

Pray, can you tell me who is she?

​

Let the wind and the rain and

the hail blow high

And the snow come travelin'

through the sky

She's as sweet as apple pie

She'll get her own right by and by

When 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 Albert Mooney she loves still

​

I’ll tell me ma, when I go home

The boys won't leave the girls alone

Pulled me hair, stolen me comb

But that's alright, till I go home

She is handsome, she is pretty

She is the belle of Dublin city

She is a-courting one, two, three

Pray, can you tell me who is she?
