i tell me ma when i go home

the boys won't leave the girls alone

they pulled me hair and they stole me comb

but that's alright till i go home

she is handsome she is pretty

she is the girl of belfast city

she is a courting one two three

please won't you tell me who is she

albert moony says he loves her

all the boys are fighting for

they're up on the door and they ring at the bell

saying oh me true love are you well out

she comes as white as snow

rings on her fingers bells on her toes
