- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 ส.ค. 2024
- One of my favorite folk songs out there. And they(by which I mean The Young Dubliners) covered it(as usual) brilliantly!
Quick recap..
Artist: The Young Dubliners
Song: I'll Tell Me Ma
Album: With all Due Respect
Hope ya love the song as much as I.
-Lyrics!-
I'll tell me ma when I go home
The boys won't leave the girls alone
They pull my hair & stole my comb
But that's all right till I get home
(chorus)
She is handsome, she is pretty
She is the belle of Dublin city
She is courting one, two, three
Please, won't you tell me, who is she?
Albert Mooney says he loves her
All the boys are fighting for her
Knock at the door and they ring 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
Old Jenny Murphy says she'll die
If she doesn't get the fellow with the roving eye
(Chorus)
Let the wind and the rain and the hail blow high
Snow come shovelin' from the sky
She is sweet as apple pie
She'll get 'er 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
It's Albert Mooney she loves still
(Chorus)

I used to make my college roommate sing this whenever I had a bad day. It always cheered me up immensely.
Got to love how music can make you nostalgic for a place your family hasn't set foot since they left almost 300 years ago.
Just found this song, wish I came across it sooner. Anyone still listening 2021?
2024
My grandmother was from Dublin. She passed away before I was born. It sounds odd but I've felt her nurturing spirit in bad times. I love my heritage
We used to jump rope to this when I was a kid 65 years ago. We always sang queen of the golden city.
Love this song. This was the first song my daughter learnt- taught by her Grandpa. This song always holds a special place in my heart ❤ fabulous version with fhe right city name.
It’s an Irish folk song. The lyrics change from town to town. That’s how folk songs go. It’s like Tim Finnegan’s wake, it changes a bit depending on how the recording artist learned it growing up.
Does that mean you're gay?
We had lots fun at Finnegan's wake 😅
probably the best version i've heard thats not live, absolutley brilliant, cant stop listening to it.
I’ve always loved Irish music and this is beautiful and so underrated
Ireland All The Way!!!! May The Green Country Live Long And Stand Strong!!!!
Went to Ireland last year and heard this on a tour guide boat. Ireland was amazing and beautiful
I love how folk songs have different lyrics to them depending on how different people learn it.
Indeed. In Irish Gaelic there are four different dialects. So some one in co Kerry could not understand some one from Donegal ( in Irish ). If you read this today ,happy new year x
I think the Young Dubliners are great. Both their original music and covers leave little to be desired. They've been my favorite band since I was 12. You won't find a more fan-oriented group.
my granda use to sing this song to me and my sister... i miss him :(:( R.I.P GRANDA...
and now everytime i hear this song i cry but its such an amzing song, ill always sing it in memory of my granda :( i love you granda..
i love this song, great beat and great lyrics, not to mention a great person singing it
I haven't heard this song in years
I still love it
People correcting folk song lyrics in the comment section apparently dont understand this kind of music...
They don't understand that they are like variants (versions) in folkore. I took Irish, American, British, British, and Ga. folkore and loved them all, especially listening to the music.
my granda use to sing this to me, before he died, i cry everytime i hear it now, the dubliners are amazing :) i admire them , even though im only 12 but anyways, my granda loved them, he use to sing this all the time to me, i miss him :( thanks for posting this
I'm sorry about your granda. You write beautifully. Never stop writing ...
I can't stop listening to this. Like, at all. I just need to have it on repeat.
Wow, this song is beautiful
irish music like this is always awesome!! :D
I learned this song with Belfast city. Still, very nice and beautiful song.
The Dubliners are beyond welcome in Boise, ID whenever they care to show up, but they already know this and have for years. I've seen them three times so far and will be there when they come back.
one of the best irish songs ever
UP THE IRISH
Great band!
I just love it. Songs Like this make me sad I'm not Irish, they seem to have so much fun always :)
Went to Ireland this year. Wanted to land in a pub and listen to this music. The night before I left I found the pub. I'm glad they are coming to Texas.
Love this fun song!! :)
I must say thank you. After a really shitty month, and battling off depression. In 3 minutes this has completely changed my mood. So thank you, Young Dubliners for making such a upbeat song. And thank you, BarbaricGoose for uploading this.
LOVE THIS TYPE OF MUSIC
I love to Irish dance to this ❤️
Thankyou xx I was born in ireland im irish i adore this song and the wolftones u shud listen too them there awesome i hope to go back to ireland im in blackburn now and thankyou at least i know one person tht acctually likes irish x
I went to an Irish pub in Saint John in Canada, and a girl was singing this song, it was so good!
I'm watching this in 2020 and when he said tell me ma when I go HOME I wish I could still go out to like the park or something 😷
good song! courts a lot! good for her!
@BarbaricGoose I grew up (decades ago) in Montreal, where we sang this as a skipping song (while skipping rope) & we sang it as "the girl from New York city". This sort of song is genuinely a "folk" tradition, so it changes to suit the folk who've made it their own. We were of Irish descent living in a Jewish neighborhood & the Jewish kids all had family in NYC.
Just saw these guys at the irish festival. Now Im hooked and ordering their album.
THE FAMINE IS OVER..............FENIANS! JAPAN/UK FRIENDS FOREVER!
Love the sound of this version its awesome
Tell my ma when I go home
The boys won't leave the girls alone
They pull my hair and stole my comb
That's all right till I go home
She is handsome, she is pretty
She is the belle of Dublin city
She is courtin', one, two, three
Please, won't you tell me, who is she?
Albert Mooney says he loves her
And 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, as white as snow
Rings on her fingers and bells on her toes
Old Jenny Murray, she says she'll die
If she doesn't get the fella with the roving eye
She is handsome, she is pretty
She is the belle of Dublin city
She is courtin', one, two, three
Please, won't you tell me, who is she?
Let the wind and the rain and hail blow high
Snow come shovelin' from the sky
She is sweet as apple pie
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
It's Albert Mooney she loves still
She is handsome, she is pretty
She is the belle of Dublin city
She is courtin', one, two, three
Please, won't you tell me, who is she?
I'll tell my ma when I go home
The boys won't leave the girls alone
They pull my hair and they stole my comb
That's all right till I go home
She is handsome, she is pretty
She is the belle of Dublin city
She is courtin', one, two, three
Please, won't 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 they ring at the bell
Sayin' "Oh, my true love, are you well?"
Out she comes, as white as snow
Rings on her fingers and bells on her toes
Old Jenny Murray, she says she'll die
If she doesn't get the fella with the roving eye
The wind and the rain and hail blow high
Snow come shovelin' from the sky
She's as sweet as apple pie
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

great song!!! all the best from Romania!
Proud Irish 🇮🇪🍀
omg i grew up this frickin song but i havent heard it in that long!
my boyfriends in jail because of underage drinking and stuff and i miss him so much. irish folk music is the only thing thats making me smile right now
Did you end up with him?
The point of a folksong is the fact that it can be changed.No one owns, except for the "folk" or people from whom it originated
normally i listen to metal and this stuff. but in these times where dubstep and techno and rap and stuff are popular are songs like this here awesome and since i listened to it i listen to it every day atm. awesome song and not this shit what is popular right now ...
loved this song
I actually realized something cool, this song works with basically any city put in the city part! New York City, Boston city, ect ect.
So long as you can fit the name in two syllables at least. I suppose you could try to cram a city like Istanbul in there but it would sound a bit rushed.
@@fukounayuki5378 I would just drop the city in that case. "She is the belle of Istanbul!" I'm just going to be over here trying to figure out how to make Albuquerque work here.
I love Irish music because I am a little bit of Irish and I love to Irish dancing
This song is thought to originate from a Children's skipping song (hence the skipping rhythm). It's completely appropriate for the city to be substituted as is common in folk songs.
There is a similar old English version called 'The Wind'and another version called the 'Belle of the Golden City'.
Ich Liebe es!
always loved their cover of this song :P
There you understand where does the US country music come from. Irish music is a great inspirational source :-)
I was born in ireland but im in Blackburn now nd i adore this song im trying to learn irish as its my Born language i adore irish ! i also like the wolftones ! celtic sympothy u gotto lsiten to tht

So, I was born in Dublin and raised in Australia, in a very Irish way. Irish people will know what I mean by that. So with that out of the way, as much as I'd like it to be Dublin, it's Belfast. The belle of Belfast City. I mean, the fact that it's Belfast makes the line what it is. Belle/Belfast.
Plus Dublin is loyal to Irelandn not like the British loyal Ulsters of the north
It doesnt matter where it is. Thats just a part of this kind of music
@@arronmarrik515 because nobody in Belfast identifies as Irish right? 🤦♀️🇮🇪💣
It’s one of those songs some words are easy to change to make your local fans cheering
fantastic great song
Love yhis song great for my irish daning makes me think of home ♥
I like that way of looking at it.
i love this song
best song i ever herd
I remember singing this song in primary school. Why it came back to this leodensian while he was wrapping presents is a mystery.
I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU GUYS AGAIN HERE IN LOS OSOS TOMORROW!!!!
it’s actually crazy how this is the best song ever recorded
Ah so many memories being roused by this old piece.
happy people happy music!
happy music, happy people
Der witti aus Witten liebt dieses Lied:-)))
Best version. No doubt.
@Bleedingrogue Same age here. I stumbled upon this music a few years ago. Im so glad I have music to listen to that has culture and meaning to it.
Great song
Grade three memories. :)
its one of my favourite songs to.
what a verse of the sash big lad
I o'love it
She is the dub of dublin city...
It can say any city, as long as it something short like Belfast, London or Dublin. It is said different depending on the version, however the oldest version (so the original as far as we now) says Belfast.
found this song at last!
i could be wrong though. With these old folk songs it's always hard to tell which was the original
Gawwd damn but I'm glad that I'm an Irish woman!
I'm seeing them in 9 days!
great music.
greets from germany
Lovely song :')
Hell yes
@migled9 Well, they're called the Young DUBLINers, so it makes sense that they'd change it to Dublin city. Some bands have even said London city, I believe.
My ole teacher from primary 5 (who made me know the song) and she said Belfast
So happy to be Irish.

Wooooaaaauuuhhh!
Very nice!
Greetings from Germany

We're singing this for chorus and the vocal jumps makes it one of the most difficult songs we've learned.
