Song Lyrics
I'll tell me ma when I go home The boys won't leave the girls alone Pulled me hair and stolen me comb Well, that's alright till I go home

She is handsome, she is pretty She is the belle of Dublin City She is courtin' one, two, three Pray can you tell me, who is she?

Albert Mooney says he loves her All the boys are fighting for her They knock at the door and ring at 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 Ole Jenny Murray says she'll die If she doesn't get the fella with the roving eye

Trivia

 * In the original poem, it says 'she is the belle of Belfast city' not Dublin.
