I'll tell me ma, when I get home
The boys won't leave us queens alone
They pulled my hair, they stole my comb
But that's alright, till I get home
He is handsome, he is pretty
He is the belle of Belfast city
He is a-courting one, two, three
Please won’t you tell me who is he?
Albert Mooney says he loves him
All the boys are fightin' for him
Knock at the door, they're ringin' the bell
Saying "Oh, my true love are you well?"
Out he comes as white as snow
Rings on his fingers, bells on his toes
Ol' Johnny Murray says he’ll die
If he doesn't get the fellow with the roving eye
Let the wind and the rain and the hail blow high
And the snow come travelin' through the sky
He’s as sweet as apple pie
I’ll get my own right by and by
When I get a lad of my own
I won't tell my ma when I get home
Let them all come as they will
It's Albert Mooney I loves still
I'll tell me ma, when I get home
The boys won't leave us queens alone
They pulled my hair, they stole my comb
But that's alright, till I get home
He is handsome, he is pretty
He is the belle of Belfast city
He is a-courting one, two, three
Please won’t you tell me who is he?
