I'll Tell my Ma

Traditional Irish song

I'll tell my ma when I get (1)____________,
The boys won't leave the girls alone
They pull my (2)______________ and stole my comb
But that's all right till I go home

She is handsome, she is (3)_______________,
She is the Belle of Belfast city
She is a-courtin' one, two, three,
Please won't you tell me who is she(4)____________

Albert Mooney says he loves her,
All the boys are (5)________________ for her
Knock at the door and ring at the bell,
Oh my (6)___________________ love, are you well

Out she comes as white as snow,
Rings on her fingers, (7)______________ on her toes
Ould Johnny Morrissey says she will die
If she doesn't get the fellow with the roving eye

Let the wind and the rain and the hail blow high
And the (8)_______________ come tumbling through the sky
She's as sweet as apple pie,
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 gets home
Let them all come as they will
For it's Albert Mooney she loves still
