Start Jamming...
Tell me Ma when I go home, the boys wont leave the girls alone
They pull my hair, [D] the comb might go on, but that's alright till I go home
She is handsome, She [A#] is pretty, she is a bell of felt rustling
[Gm] She is a darling, [A] one to pray, pray would you tell me
Holler, [B] Holler, Holler
Tell [D] me Ma when I go home, the boys wont leave the girls alone
They pull my hair, the comb might go on, but that's alright till I go home
She is handsome, She is pretty, she is a bell of felt rustling
She is a darling, one to pray, pray would you tell me
Oh, but Mony says [G] she loves her other boys, not like him or her.
But that oar and the ring, that bell, oh, my true love, are you well?
Out she comes with white as star rings, and a finger's unveiled in her sword.
Oh, Jenny, my dear, she would lie [N] if she couldn't get the fella with the [D] roving knife.
Tell me, Ma, when I go home, the boys won't leave until I go home.
My hair, my clothes, my tone, that's all I need till I go home.
She is handsome, [G] she is pretty, [D] she is the belle with bells from Sydney.
She is smart, and wants to play, and play with Sally, her mistake.

The wind and the rain and the hailstones, high in the snow, come a-tumbling from the sky.
She's as nice as apple pie, and she'll get her own lad by and by.
When [G] she gets her lad of her [D] own, she won't tell him how dear she comes home.
Let them all come, that's how you will, for it's all good, Mony, she loves you.
Tell me, Ma, when I go home, the boys won't leave until I go home.
My hair, my clothes, my tone, that's all I need till I go home.
She is handsome, she is pretty, she is the belle with bells from Sydney.
She is smart, and wants to play, [A] and play with Sally, her [D] mistake.

My hair is on my tongue, but that's alright, tonight we'll all
She is [G] handsome, she is pretty, [D] she is relevant and possessive
She is laughing, once you've made her, you'll tell me her name
You'll tell me, you'll tell me, you'll tell me her name
You'll tell me, you'll tell me, you'll tell me her name
You'll [G] tell me, [D] you'll tell me, you'll tell me her name
