Video guitar lesson
I'll (D) tell me ma when (A) I go home
The boys won't leave the (D) girls alone
They pulled my hair they (A) stole my comb
But that's alright til (D) I go home
Chorus:
She is handsome (G) she is pretty
(D) She is the belle of (A) Belfast city
(D) She is courting (G) one, two, three
(D) Please would you (A) tell me (D) who is she?
Albert Mooney (A) says he loves her
All the boys are (D) fighting for her
They knock at the door
And they (A) ring at the bell saying
"Oh, my true love (D) are you well"
Out she comes as (G) white as snow
With (D) rings on her fingers
And (A) bells on her toes
(D) Ol' Jenny Murray (G) says she'll die
If she (D) doesn't get the (A) fellow with the (D) roving eye
Chorus
Let the wind and the rain and the (A) breeze blow high
And the snow come falling (D) from the sky
She's as sweet as (A) apple pie
She'l get her own lad (D) by and by
When she gets a (G) lad of her own
She (D) won't tell her ma when (A) she gets home
(D) Let them all say (G) as they will
For (D) Albert (A) Mooney (D) she loves still
Chorus
