<b>the belle of belfast</b> by <i>Jan Smit</i><br />I tell me ma when i go home

the boys won't leave the girls alone.

They pull my hair, they stole my comb

but that's allright till i go home.

She is handsome, she is pretty

she's the Belle of Belfast city

she is a-courtin -one, two three

please would you tell me who is she.

Albert Moonney says he loves her

and all the boys are fighting for her

they rap at the door and they're ringing the bell

saying:"Oh my true love are you well?

As she comes as white as snow

rings on her fingers and bells on her toes

oh, Jenny Murphy says she will die if she doesn't get A fella with a rovin' eye.

Let the wind and the rain and the gale blow high and the snow goes shov'lling from the sky.

She's as nice as apple-pie to get her own at by 'n' by.

When she gets a letter own

she won't tell her ma when she gets home

let them mark 'em as they will

but it's Albert Mooney that she loves still.

I tell me ma when i go home

the boys won't leave the girls alone

they pull my hair, they stole my comb

but that's allright till i go home.

She is handsome, she is pretty

she's the Belle of Belfast city

she is a-courtin -one, two three

please would you tell me who is she
