The Young Dubliners -- I'll Tell Me Ma

One of my favorite folk songs out there. And they(by which I mean The Young Dubliners) covered it(as usual) brilliantly!

Quick recap..
Artist: The Young Dubliners
Song: I'll Tell Me Ma
Album: With all Due Respect

Hope ya love the song as much as I.

--Lyrics!--

I'll tell me ma when I go home
The boys won't leave the girls alone
They pull my hair & stole my comb
But that's all right till I get home

(chorus)
She is handsome, she is pretty
She is the belle of Dublin city
She is courting one, two, three
Please, won't you tell me, who is she?

Albert Mooney says he loves her
All the boys are fighting for her
Knock at the door and they ring the bell
Saying, "oh my true love, are you well?"
Out she comes, as white as snow
Rings on her fingers and bells on her toes
Old Jenny Murphy says she'll die
If she doesn't get the fellow with the roving eye

(Chorus)

Let the wind and the rain and the hail blow high
Snow come shovelin' from the sky
She is sweet as apple pie
She'll get 'er own lad by and by
When she gets a lad of her own
She won't tell her ma when she goes home
Let them all come as they will
It's Albert Mooney she loves still

(Chorus)

I must say thank you. After a really shitty month, and battling off depression. In 3 minutes this has completely changed my mood. So thank you, Young Dubliners for making such a upbeat song. And thank you, BarbaricGoose for uploading this.

DUBLIN CITY DIRTY 800 YEARS OF FOREIGN RULE AND WE CANT EVEN HAVE ONE SONG LYRIC

[Zachary Kash]

Got to love how music can make you nostalgic for a place your family hasn't set foot since they left almost 300 years ago.
