Tell me Ma when I go home
The boys won't leave the girls alone
They pull my hair, they stole my comb
Well that's alright, till I go home
She is handsome, She is pretty
She is the belle of Belfast City
She [D] is a darling one, [A] don't you think
Ah oh tell [D] me how I look
Tell me Ma when I go home
The boys won't leave the girls alone
They pull my hair, they stole my comb
Well that's alright, till I go home
She is handsome, She is pretty
She is the belle of Belfast City
She is a darling one, don't you think
Where will she be?
Albert Money says [N] he loves her
All the boys are fighting for her
But they're all in there in that cell
Oh my true love, are you well?
Out she comes with white as snow
Rings and a finger and bells on her toe
Oh, Jenny Murray says she won't lie
She doesn't get the fella with the roving [D] eye
Tell me, Ma, where do I go?
All the boys will say the girl goes home
Oh, my hair, oh my soul
That's all I need till I go home
She is handsome, she is pretty
She is a belle, a belle, a belle, she is a belle
She is a classic, one, two, three
Friends will tell they are [G] in faith
[D] [G]
In [C] [G]
[C] [G]
[D] the red with the hair blow high
And the smoke on the cupboard end from this night
She's as nice as apple pie
And she'll get her all that by and by
When she [G] gets to that of [D] her own
She won't tell a nod till she comes home
Let them all come and say well for it
Albert Moody, she loves too
Tell me, Ma, where do I go?
All the boys will say the girl goes home
Oh, my hair, oh my [F#m] soul
That's all [D] I need till I go home
She is handsome, she is pretty
She is a belle, a belle, a belle, she is a belle
She is a classic, one, two, three

Tell me, Ma, where do I go?
All the boys will say the girl goes home
Oh, my hair, oh my soul
That's all I need till I go home
She is [G] handsome, she is fray, [D] she is a bell of bell-cock-a-dee, she is a darkling, one too gray to play, but she'll be her, I say.
Tell me, Ma, when I go home, the boys won't leave the girls alone.
They pull my hair, they stroll my lawn, but that's all right till I go home.
[Gm] She is handsome, she is fray, she is a bell of bell-cock-a-dee, she [F#m] is a darkling, one too gray to play, [D] but she'll be her, I say.
