I'll Tell Me Ma

I'll tell me ma when I get home
The boys won't leave the girls alone.
Pulled my hair and stole my comb
But that's alright till I get home.
She is handsome, she is pretty
She is the belle of Dublin city
She is a-courting one, two, three
Pray can you tell me who is she?
Albert Mooney says he loves her
All the boys are fighting for her
Knocking at the door, they're a-ringing at the bell
"Hello my true love, are you well?"
Out she comes, white as snow
Rings on her fingers and bells on her toes
Old Jenny Murray says she'll die
if she doesn't get the fellow with the roving eye.
Let the wind and the rain and the hail blow high
And the snow come a-tumbling from the sky.
She's as sweet as apple pie
She'll get her own lad by and by.
When she gets a lad of her own
She won't tell her ma when she gets home
Let them all come as they will
It's Albert Mooney she loves still.

On the banks of the roses my love and I sat down
And I took out my fiddle for to play my love a tune
And in the middle of the tune - o
She sighed and she said
"Oh my Johnny, lovely Johnny, would you leave me?"
When I was just a young girl, I heard my father say
"I'd sooner see you dead, my girl
And buried in the clay
Rather than be married to a roving runaway
On the lovely, sweet banks of the roses.
Well, now I am a runaway, and sure I'll let you know
That I can take a bottle or can leave it alone
And if her daddy doesn't like it
He can keep his daughter home
And this Johnny will go roving with another
If ever I am married, 'twill be in the month of May
When the leaves they are green, and the meadows they are gay
And me and my true love will sit and sport and play
On the lovely, sweet banks of the roses.
