[D] [A]
[G#] [A]
[D] [A]
So, mama when I go home The boys won't leave the girls alone
They'll pull my hair, they'll stole my [E] coat Well that's [A] alright, till I go home
She is [Bm] handsome, she is [A] pretty She is a [G#] bell-o-bell, [A] fasin-ay
She is [D] quarter one two three Please won't you [A] tell me who is she
Albert Mooney says he loves her All the boys are fighting for her
Got the door and the ding-dong [C#m]-bell, all night [A] through the fire you went
And she [Bm] comes as white as [F#m] snow, rings on [B] her fingers and bends on [A] her toes
As Jenny [D] Mary said she wouldn't die if she [E] didn't get the [A] fellow with the robe in
Then [Bm]
[A] [D] [A]
the wind and the [F#m] rain and the hay blow high [E] and the snow comes, comes [A] in from the sky
She's as nice [Bm] as a [F#m] footfire, [C#m] she'll get her old [A] lad by and by
When she gets [D] a little out of her hall, [A] she won't [Bm] turn him out when she comes home
[A] Lift him up, [Bm] hold him up, they will say it's Albert Mooney [F#m] she lifts him
I tell me Ma, [A] when I go home, [E] the flags won't [F#m] leave the girls alone
But if my hair is gone I come, [D] that's alright, then I go home
She is handsome, she is [F#m] pretty, she is developed, oh fascinating
She is [D] quarter one through three, [Bm] please won't you tell [F#m] me who is she
I tell me Ma, when I go home, the flags won't leave the girls alone
But if my [C#] hair is gone I come, [Bm] that's alright, [A] then I go home
She [Am] is handsome, she is pretty, she is developed, [E] oh [F#m] fascinating
She [Bm] is quarter one through three, please won't [A] you tell me who is [F#m] she
[C#m] [Bm] [D#m]
