Van Morrison & The Chieftains I'll Tell Me Ma

[1]Tell me Ma when [5]I go home
the [5-7]boys won't leave the [1]girls alone
They pulled my hair they [5]stole my comb
but [5-7]that's OK til I go [1]home

She is handsome [4]she is pretty [1]She is the belle of [5]Belfast city
[1] She's a courting [4]one two three. [1] Please won't you [5]tell me [1]who is she

[1]Albert Mooney [5]Says he loves her
[5-7]All the boys are [1]fighting for her
The rap at the door and [5]ring the bell
saying [5-7]Oh my true love [1]are you well

Out she comes as [4]white as snow [1]rings on her fingers and [5]bells on her toes
[1]Jenny Murray says she'll [4]die if she doesnt [1]get the [5]fella with the [1]roving i

Chorus
[1] Let the wind and the rain and the [5]hail blow high
and the [5-7] snow come tumbling from the [1] sky.
She's as nice as apple [1]pie
and she'll [5-7]get her own lad by and [1]by

When she gets a lad [4]of her own [1]she won't tell her Ma til [5]she goes home
But [1]let them all [4]come as they will; it's [1]Albert Mooney that [5] she loves [1]still.
