I’ll tell me
Ma
A
1. I'll tell me Ma when I go home,
E A
the boy's won't leave the
girls alone.
They'll pull my hair, they
stole my comb,
E A
well, that's alright till I go
home.
A D
She is handsome, she is
pretty,
A E
she is the bell of
A D
She is courtin',
one, two, three,
A E A
please, won't you tell me, who
is she?
A
2. Albert Mooney say's he loves her,
E A
all the
boy's are fighting for her.
They knock at the door and
ring at the bell,
E A
sayin',
"Oh my true love, are you well"?
A D
Out she comes as white as
snow,
A E
rings on her
fingers and bells on her toes.
A D
Old Jenny Murray say's she'll
die,
A E A
if you don't
get the fella with the roving eye.
A
3. Let the wind and the rain and hail blow high,
E A
and the snow come tumbling
from the sky,
She's as nice as apple pie.
E A
She'll get her own lad by and
by.
A D
When she gets a lad of her
own,
A E
she won't tell her Ma when she
comes home.
A D
Let them all come as they will,
A E A
for it's
Albert Mooney she loves still.
