I’ll [D]tell me Ma when [G]I get home, the [A7]boys won’t leave the [D]girls alone
They pulled my hair, they [G]stole my [D]comb but [A7]that’s alright till [D]I go home
[D]She is handsome, [G]she is pretty, [D]she's the belle of [A7]Belfast city
[D]She is courting [G]one, two, three, [D]please won’t you [A7]tell me [D]who is she?

[D]Albert Mooney [G]says he [D]loves her
[A7]All the boys are [D]fighting for her
[D]They rap on her door and [G]ring the [D]bell
Saying "[A7]Oh my true love [D]are you well?"
[D]Out she comes as [G]white as snow
[D]Rings on her fingers and [A7]bells on her toes
[D]Jenny Murray says that [G]she will die
If she [D]doesn’t get the [A7]fella with the [D]roving eye

[D]Let the wind and the rain and the [G]hail blow [D]high
And the [A7]snow come tumbling [D]from the sky
[D]She’s as nice as [G]apple [D]pie
She'll [A7]get her own lad [D]by and by
[D]When she gets a [G]lad of her own
She [D]won’t tell her Ma when [A7]she gets home
But [D]let them all come [G]as they will
It’s [D]Albert [A7]Mooney [D]she loves still
