lyrics

Diddle de da, diddle de doh Diddle de da diddle dee doh.
Diddle de da doh doh Diddle de da doh doh

I’ll tell my Ma… when I go home
The boys won’t leave… the girls alone.
They pull my hair... they steal my comb,
Well that’s all right… ‘til I go home.
She is handsome… she is pretty,
She is the girl from Belfast city.
She is courting… one,two,three.
Please will you tell me who is she?

Diddle de da, diddle de doh Diddle de da diddle dee doh.
Diddle de da doh doh Diddle de da doh doh………….….REPETER

Al bert Moon ey sa…ys……. he loves her,
All the boys are fighting for her.
They knock AT the door and they ring AT the bell
“ Oh my true love… are you well ? “
Out she comes… white as snow,
Rings on her fingers, bells on her toes.
Little Jenny Murphy says she’ll die
If she doesn’t get the fella with the rovin’ eye.

Diddle de da, diddle de doh Diddle de da diddle dee doh.
Diddle de da doh doh Diddle de da doh

Let the wind and the rain and the hail blow high,
And the snow come shovelling from the sky.
She’s as nice as apple pie
And she’ll get her 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
For it’s Al bert Moon ey she loves still.

Diddle de da, diddle de doh Diddle de da diddle dee doh.
Diddle de da doh doh Diddle de da doh doh
