lyrics

I'll tell me ma when I go home
The boys won't leave the girls alone
They cut my hair and they stole my comb
But that's alright 'til I go home
She is handsome, she is pretty
She is the belle of Dublin city
She is a'courtin' one-two-three
Please mother tell me who is she

Now Albert Mooney says he loves her
All the boys are fighting for her
They're knocking on the door and ringin' on the bell
Saying "oh my true love are you well"
Down she comes as white as snow
With rings on her fingers and bells on her toes
Old Johnny Murphy says she'll die
If she don't get the fellow with the roving eye

Let the wind and the rain and the hail come high
And the snow come shoveling from the sky
She's as nice as apple pie
And she'll get her own lad by and by
When she gets a lad of her own
She won't tell her ma when she goes home
Let them all come as they will
It's Albert Mooney she loves still
