Tell Me Ma Dicey

Chorus
I'll 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 all right till I get home
She is handsome, she is pretty, she is the belle of Belfast City
She is acourtin' one, two, three, please won't you tell me who is she?

Albert Mooney says he loves her, all the boys are fightin' for her
They knock on the door, they ring on the bell, say "Oh my true love are you well?"
Out she comes as white as snow, rings on her fingers, bells on her toes
Oul Johnny Murray says she'll die if she doesn't get the fellow with the rovin' eye
Chorus
I'll 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 all right till I get home
She is handsome, she is pretty, she is the belle of Belfast City
She is acourtin' one, two, three, please won't you tell me who is she?

Let the wind and the rain and the hail blow high and the snow come tumblin' from the sky
She's as nice as apple pie and she'll get her own lad bye and bye
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
Chorus
I'll 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 all right till I get home
She is handsome, she is pretty, she is the belle of Belfast City
She is acourtin' one, two, three, please won't you tell me who is she?

Poor old Dicey Reilly she has taken to the sup
Poor old Dicey Reilly she will never give it up
For it's off each morning to the hock
And she nips in for another little drop
Ah the heart to the rule is Dicey Reilly

She walks along Fitzgibbon Street with an independent air
And then it's down to Summerhill, at her the people stare
She says it's nearly half past one
So she'll nip in for another little one
Ah the heart to the rule is Dicey Reilly.
Chorus
Poor old Dicey Reilly she has taken to the sup
Poor old Dicey Reilly she will never give it up
For it's off each morning to the hock
And she nips in for another little drop
Ah the heart to the rule is Dicey Reilly

She owns a little sweetshop at the corner of the street
And every evenin' after school I go to wash her feet
She leaves me there to mind the shop
While she nips in for another little drop
Ah the heart to the rule is Dicey Reilly
Chorus Twice
Poor old Dicey Reilly she has taken to the sup
Poor old Dicey Reilly she will never give it up
For it's off each morning to the hock
And she nips in for another little drop
Ah the heart to the rule is Dicey Reilly
Poor old Dicey Reilly she has taken to the sup
Poor old Dicey Reilly she will never give it up
For it's off each morning to the hock
And she nips in for another little drop
Ah the heart to the rule is Dicey Reilly
