 I'll tell me ma when I go home
 The boys won't leave the girls alone
 They pull my hair, they steal my comb
 But that's alright when I get home
 She is handsome, she is pretty
 She's the belle of Belfast city
 She is courtin', one, two, three
 Please won't you tell me, who is she

W:
W: Albert Mooney says he loves her, all the boys are fighting for her.
W: They are knockin' on the door, and they're ringin' at the bell, saying 'Oh, my true love are you well?'
W: Out she comes as white as snow, with rings on her fingers and bells on her toes.

W: When she gets a lad of her own, she won't tell her ma when she gets home.
W: Let them all come as they will, it's Albert Mooney she loves still!
