Tell Me Ma(tremolo)

by The Clancys

Edit

I believe the notes are also right for the Gaelic Storm version that
they play on harmonica between verses, only they play it at a much
faster speed than the original version.

I’ll tell me ma when I get home.
 8   -8   -7    -8   -8   -7   7  7
The boys won’t leave the girls a-lone
-8    -5  7  -8     8    8    8   -8
They pull my hair, they steal my comb
8    -8    -7   -7   -8  -7  7   7
But that’s all right till I get home

She is handsome, she is pretty
-8  -8  -8  -8   7   -7 -6   6 -5
She is the belle of Belfast cit-y
-9  -9  -9  -8   8   8     8
She is courting one, two, three

Hey, won’t you tell me, who is he?

Albert Mooney says he loves her
All the boys are fighting for her
Knock at the door and ring the bell
Hey, my true love, are you well

Out she comes as white as snow
Rings on her fingers, bells on her toes
Our Jenny Murry says she’ll die
If she doesn’t get the fellow with the roving eye

Let the wind and the rain and ther hail go high
Snow come tumbling from the sky
She’s as nice as apple pie
She’ll get a fellow 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
