Irish traditional song lyrics \u2014 collected by Beer Belly Band.<\/em><\/p>\n

I’ll tell me ma when I go home
\nThe boys won’t leave the girls alone
\nThey pulled my hair and they stole my comb
\nWell that’s all right till I go home<\/p>\n

She is handsome, she is pretty
\n She is the belle of Belfast City
\n She is counting..one, two, three!
\n Please won’t you tell me, who is she<\/p>\n

Albert Mooney says he loves her
\nAll the boys are fighting for her
\nThey knock at the door and they ring at the bell
\nSayin’, “Oh my true love, are you well?”
\nOut she comes as white as snow
\nRings on her fingers, bells on her toes
\nOld Johnny Murray says she’ll die
\nIf she doesn’t get the fellow with the rovin’ eye<\/p>\n

Let the wind and the rain and the hail blow high
\nAnd the snow come tumblin’ from the sky
\nShe’s as nice as apple pie,
\nShe’ll get her own lad by and by
\nWhen she gets a lad of her own
\nShe won’t tell her ma when she comes home
\nLet them all come as they will
\nFor it’s Albert Mooney she loves still<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
