Tell Me Ma - The Dubliners
I'll [F] tell me ma when I get home
The [C7] boys won't leave the [F] girls alone
They pulled me hair and they stole me comb
But [C7] that's all right till [F] I go home
[F] She is handsome [C7] she is pretty
[F] She’s the Belle of [G7] Belfast [C7] city
[F] She is a-courtin' [Bb] one two three
[F] Please won't you [C7] tell me [F] who is she
Albert [F] Mooney says he loves her
All [C7] the boys are fightin' [F] for her
Knock at the door, and they ring that bell
Oh [C7] my true love [F] are you well
Out she comes as [C7] white as snow
[F] Rings on her fingers and [G7] bells on her [C7] toes
[F] Old Johny Murray [Bb] says she will die
If she [F] doesn't get the [C7] fella with the [F] roving eye
I'll [F] tell me ma when I get home
The [C7] boys won't leave the [F] girls alone
They pulled me hair and they stole me comb
But [C7] that's all right till [F] I go home
[F] She is handsome [C7] she is pretty
[F] She’s the Belle of [G7] Belfast [C7] city
[F] She is courtin' [Bb] one two three
[F] Please won't you [C7] tell me [F] who is she
Let [F] the wind and the rain and the hail blow high
And the [C7] snow come a-tumbling [F] from the sky
[F] She's as nice as apple pie
And [C7] she’ll get her own lad [F] by and by
When she gets a [C7] lad of her own
She [F] won't tell her ma when [G7] she gets home
[F] Let them all come [Bb] as they will
It's [F] Albert [C7] Mooney [F] she loves still
I'll [F] tell me ma when I get home
The [C7] boys won't leave the [F] girls alone
They pulled me hair and they stole me comb
