O'Connor, Sinead - I'll Tell Me Ma Lyrics

Booooooooo

Superbe balade !
Lisez Maria Valtorta.
God bless you.

i nice video show the irish republican assholes teaching there kids to be cunts like them

Back in the day when Sinn Fein were for the Irish , those days are GONE but the unrepresented IRISH are still here , waiting for a leader!

No surrender ... ever , have fun in the EU and letting mass immigration kill your culture 🤪

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 go home
She is handsome, she is pretty
She is the belle of Belfast city
She is a-courting one two three
Pray, would 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 that 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 says she will die
If she doesn't get the fella with the roving eye

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 go home
She is handsome, she is pretty
She is the belle of Belfast city
She is a-courting one two three
Pray, would you tell me who is she

Let the wind and the rain and the hail blow high
And 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 she gets a lad of her own
She won't tell her ma till she comes home
Let them all come as they will
For it's Albert Mooney she loves still

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 go home
She is handsome, she is pretty
She is the belle of Belfast city
She is a-courting one two three
Pray, would you tell me who is she

Ah spring on

Let the wind and the rain and the hail blow high
And 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 she gets a lad of her own
She won't tell her ma till she comes home
Let them all come as they will
For it's Albert Mooney she loves still

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 go home
She is handsome, she is pretty
She is the belle of Belfast city
She is a-courting one two three
Pray, would you tell me who is she

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 go home
She is handsome, she is pretty
She is the belle of Belfast city
She is a-courting one two three
Pray, would you tell me who is she

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 go home
She is handsome, she is pretty
She is the belle of Belfast city
She is a-courting one two three
Pray, would you tell me who is she

Would you tell me, would you tell me
Would you tell me who is she
Would you tell me, would you tell me
Would you tell me who is she
Would you tell me, would you tell me
Would you tell me who is she
Would you tell me, would you tell me

I am a back seat driver from America/and I drive on the left on falls road.

Fantastic!!!

My kids gret nan was Irish, and my ex was an army kid and him and his parents, they were nurses, were stationed in N Ireland during this time. He told me, he had army escort when going to school

Just buried my nana today... betty Smith (Bell) this will be forever her song... r.i.p nana..thank you for everything

We used to jump rope to this

hard times nice music

I don't understand why some Catholics in Northern Ireland wish to force the rest of the north to be part of the republic. If they are unhappy, they are free to move to the republic?

We’ll stamp on the head of British soldiers ole ole!

Éirinn go Brách

Christmas list
End war
End abuse
End hungerEnd hatred
End disease
End mental illness
This is all doable, where do we start.

I LOVE THIS COUNTRY I LOVE SONG KISSES OF FRANCE

wow, very political video for a song about a love that got away

Magnifique !

Ominous. Scary.

Pussy !

The thing I don’t like about the IRA is the fact they are socialists and communists, why can’t they just be capitalist like normal people.

Stick to being a Nun Rebel Provo lover

She is handsome. She is pretty.
She is the bell of Belfast City.

Turning a beautiful song into an IRA terrorist song. Disgraceful.

I am Australian of Irish descent. I feel my Irish roots strongly. Recently I had the misfortune to have a British lodger as common as. Believing he is so above the Irish, I cant use the offensive words he uses to describe the Irish. I thought that with attitudes like his how can there ever be real peace in Ireland. I would have liked to be able to tell him that he was the scum of the earth and that we didnt want his lying application for permanent residency in our country. I was so shocked at his attitude to other human beings. He couldnt lie straight in his bed he is so deviously deceptive. And taking a job that any Australian could do.
I am so sad and mad over the Irish situation. Our forefather coming to Australia before being shipped out in the 1840's for feeding the poor who had been kicked out of their home. Poor Ireland. Such wonderful people.
Wish the PO wasnt destroyed in 1916 though so I could trace the family tree past our Irish Immigrant. The records are destroyed so like all Aussies, we cant go back further into our roots which so many of us find important to us these days.

What a collection of photos. Makes me weep for these children of war, of all wars. Horrifying. Especially juxtaposed with the song, lyrics written from a child's point of view, on love.

The hounds you feed really..

Erin go bragh

Amazing song x

English are none for been a group of cowards...look at france euros perfect example.... id fight 50 of them no prob... i mean it... il be fucked but il take a few of them... i no i will

cowardly bastards...

Up the Irish 🍀 fuck the English 🖕 🇬🇧

dont trust the UK

Some graphic photography here well presented

and people wonder why the Irish hate the English

I Like the music very much, but I don't like the pictures!

Lovely iconic version of this song. Sorry to disappoint all you Republicans, but this is a English folk tune originating in Oxfordshire. It was probably taken to Ireland by British soldiers who were stationed there and married the local lasses. 
enjoy.

Great video and song....my little sister @ 0.58 in check coat 😁😁

Adolf ball it doesn't make Gerry one . if ur da was a paedo could we class u as one .

im drunk and im crying T_T

this music own my soul !!!. just fantastic. ..

Well done! The photos are fantastic, emotional... all the positive things you could say about them! The photo at 1:27 is just unbelievable! Thank you for creating such a great compilation/video! Thank you so much! Go raibh maith agat!

Funny the way England are pissed off over ISIS when they were the ISIS of 1916 Attacking Ireland instead of Syria

The Irish were ISIS when they went to America and slaughtered the natives during manifest destiny.

Lol When we started a rebellion in a post office they sent a battle ship to blow us up

Funny now that the singer if this song is muslim

the Fenians and IRA were / are terrorists

Dear Patric: No man, and no community is an Island. Life is complicated and now we are "all" threatened by Islam. From an English Catholic who served in British Army during the 70s.

I am going to be a good Canadian person

Wonderful, nobody ever considers the children, this right and wrong stuff is complete horse shit really...

Finn Mac Aodhain Except the english should never have been in ireland so the irish are obviously right and it has cost us alot and alot of our young lifes where sadly lost.

Whats with all the Irish separatist shite its a pretty innocent song that you put with war and pain.

Boring, slow, weak. Poor rendition.

Omg!!! That's amazing

a proud and feirce people made of Iron

the British don't know about the fiddle .armys protecting scum long live Irish say hello to the kenedys

+BODALLA Whoa! I'm hoping I read that the wrong way but if you're referring to the British people as scum when saying "armys protecting scum" then that's horribly racist.

Love Sinead, and I love this song. It made my Sinead O'Connor playlist!

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLGY1pEi8PtxR6MPSGlmVpOpAbExncQNJo

US/UK are equally thieves, equally colonialists, equally genocidaires for Empire.

+william beaulieu Okay... what's your point?

+Lazy Spark Just that people should know their history rather than mythologize. But music can bond us together. Peace.

@william beaulieu Didn't sound like that was your point.

+Sharon Anderson, surely you could come up with something better than that, come on give it a try, anything , use you're brain, please........

Ron Weasley spotted at 1:40

proof that no one is really scared of the SAS

+UPTHERA Well they weren't the SAS.

Lazy Spark Yea your right but us irish did not fear anything the brits threw at us no matter who they where.

Good work.  I grew up in British occupied Ireland around the same time period most these photos were taken and your selection gave me quite a jolt.

+Adolf Ball What does DLA mean?  Dick Licking Adolf?  lol!

Your priest is calling you back to bed. As Gerry Adams and his Paedo brother used to say........ Sucky-Our-Da..!!

Gerry Adams Da = Paedo.... Gerry Adams Brother = Paedo.........Google it..!!

Adolf Ball You mean the bru not dla moron

Gerry Adams is MI5

What the English thieves did in Ireland they repeated in Acadie, driving out the inhabitants in the name of war and profit. Like their American masters,  the English can never admit their crimes.

Agreed and correct.

UK is run and owned by the Jew, as the USA

Anti-Semitic nonsense. Are you a Nigel Farage fan?

I'm English, a Celt and I am of Shem. Get your facts correct you moron before you start to question. The so called Jews are not semites . Farage is a friend of Israel, like all UKIP anti-whiters.

You are displaying your ideology and your upbringing very well. Sorry to confuse a racist for a fascist.

Marry me Sinead

Hola quizas no hablen español, oh quizas alguien Si.pero me gusta la musica de Irlanda; ha y tambien las papas. bye.

Angel Naranjo pensé que era la única 😆😆

a like this version

I love Irish people but I don't like the ira scumbags in green and I didn't like Irish Republican home rule! Northern Ireland is British free forever we will never surrender

Strange how Americans applaud the struggle of friendly IRA terrorists who only killed British and Irish civilians (including children) indiscriminately, while those nasty Islamic terrorists who dare attack Americans are to be hunted down like rats. Funny old world.

Strange how the British killed hundreds of Irish civilians including children....yup what a funny world

I feel a deep empathy with the Irish an oppressed people, Sinead is the Irish voice in many ways, I love her rebelliousness, and her as a individual soul which is expressed with her beautiful voice

+Edward Kleingeerts Bollox. The IRA are Marxist filth. You must be a Bernie (The Jew) Sanders supporter.

The British "Queen" is one of the worst Devils of all time, going hand in hand with american zionist government

+Hunter Scythe And not one mention of King Paedo Pope?? LMAO

+Hunter Scythe out of all comments only one person sees the truth. thank you my dear.

+Hunter Scythe How much do you know about how the British Government works?

British Queen's is a whore

+Rick Hess, I would look at you and say..... Another deluded yank.... God save the queen

+Matt Moy i would look at you say say fuck off.

this is a love song...

@*****
'Meant to be a love song..fun..so why all the photos???'

its a love song used as political commentary

the same as 'silent night' was used as an anti war song by Simon and Garfunkle

Im not being funny here but when youre in a hole stop digging...

@*****
Sinead O'Connor at 21 years old took on the whole of the media and establishment to protest about child molestation in the catholic church and further afield

She compromised her career and her reputation and was vilified in the british press and further abroad in an attempt to discredit her

The reason why they did this was that she was getting uncomfortably close to the house of cards that was the british establishment and entertainment community with the hidden MOUNTAIN of child sex instances that were taking place

Without people like Sinead Jimmy Saville would still be a fun figure

Sinead was and is a hero

Attention seeker?

She absolutely WAS an attention seeker....that was her whole intention....to draw scrutiny on a shameful and evil situation....its just a shame that she didnt attract the right type of attention as there would have been less children abused at that time

Once again youve shown your naivety and ignorance

Like I suggested before.....when youre in a hole stop digging

@*****
blocked for being terminally stupid....bye now

+manchesterblue2007 I get the impression the fool thinks Sinead O Connor is responsible for the slide show in the video.

+manchesterblue2007 Well said Manc.

disgraceful that they would put that up on a wall

what right thinking person would write man united???

+manchesterblue2007 one tht is fighting for their home?

@sharon anderson
lol....o dear

lol, good one

Right after Bloody Sunday, my grandmother (Mary Jane Maginnis Moran) a Roman Catholic, who hails from County Down, Northern Ireland wrote to my mother (her daughter) Veronica here in the States. Mary Jane wrote, "My God, My God, They are killing us in the streets, they are killing us in the streets, what are we to do?" My mother wept as she read this to me and after she composed herself, she looked at me and said, "It's time for the IRA."

Same for me family from county wexford now hells kitchen NY and Adolf ball is a real piece of work trolling Irish YouTube programs cause he's jealous of us

All too right - I saw Bloody Sunday coming, months before it happened, and didn't re-engage for the full career when my three years short service commission was up. A year later I was addressing students for the Troops Out movement. It was and is Tory England, then and now, war criminals and enemies of humanity.

fuck the ira red communist pigs and fuck Dublin

I used to jump rope to this song

+Marlene Leighton It's all the photos. We just sang and jumped. No political attachents

+Marlene Leighton She's pretty strident alright.

+Marlene Leighton Would you prefer photographs of fat orangemen huffing and puffing while beating Lambeg drums?  These photos are a true depiction of English occupied Ireland during the seventies and eighties.

+Marlene Leighton So what?  It's a Belfast song and these photos define a certain part of Belfast history.  Don't get so hung up on it.

Had a friend whose Dad fought with the Mum about visiting her side of the family, because of the bombings. Took awhile for me to understand. Kindest women I ever knew.

I love Sinead O'Connor, this is a powerful video and as an American who has some Irish Protestant ancestors from County Antrim in my family tree, it breaks my heart to see the destruction that the British establishment has caused over the centuries. I pray that one day Ireland will be one entirely independent island.

yes puppets do rule india but technically india has it's own freedom and is slowly getting it's bearings back. the gurus are working on this. india lost itself this is why it became subject to england. now maybe india will do wht it was destined to do which is save the world with truth. as for ireland. as long as yhwh has any power we are fucked.

Rosa Pittman what about the destruction the American establishment has caused in the middle east and don't forget hiroshima and nagasaki

Sharon Anderson, what a load of crap.

if you want to check the numbers of the dead, Catholics outnumbered Protestants 2 to 1. I never said I supported the IRA. I loathe terrorists, whatever their reasons. whether it's IRA members blowing up British pubs or Protestant paramilitaries blowing up Dublin.

its you're proddy kin thats stopping it.

charlotte, the harlote)))))))))))))fuck anglish scum.........

+szaftospunifan You sound as ugly as I bet you look.

Jailing original idiot Irish is part Keig hush laid ksjz osoxigxoso

Great song and a great video it reminds me when I was small and sitting on my grandmothers lap while she sang this song at the top of her voice.

Not a fan of Sinead, but I like this ! So sad that Ireland had to go through all this........
Dreaming in the night, I saw a land where no man had to fight. ......!

Damn catchy!! 
26+6=1!

Where can I get these pictures?

+Jeffrey Sall I googled,simple as that,the interweb is an amazing invention ;)

Any chance you could upload an album or something of these pictures?

Though I am, at the least and on my mother's father's side, third generation American or so, I have always been proud of being 75% Irish by blood (25% Cherokee), I have always been fiercely proud of my heritage. It may be a bit off to say it, but, seeing pictures of "The Troubles" always gives my eye a tear or twenty. :'( Good and poignant video.

Big deal, not the slavery of old days. You are talking about a problem that has existed since the time of Cromwell and beyond. When you compare the issue to slavery down south, at the same time, it was a relatively non-starter for problems.  The problem with Hitler and the Jews,compared to the Brits and the Irish?

This does a good job of showing how abnormal and scary life was.. Love the irony of the music/pics. Shock factor. Thank god we no longer live like this....

Dont kow why you chose the pics to go with the song. Mairead Farrell pics would have been a better choice than the terrified wee lassies at Holy Cross. Youre vid though,ta for uploading.

@***** Do you realise how bad it makes you sound, trying to justify the actions of grown men and women spitting an throwing things at school weans. No weans should be subjected to that walking to school, end of.

@***** what were the weans terrified of?

@***** you don't think the baying crowd throwing stones, bricks, fireworks an balloons full of pish at them were the reason? It showed the world what a petty hateful lot you can be and you are showing out in your comments. I hope if you have any wee lassie's they are never subjected to anything similar.

This is brilliant. The order that the photos appeared in were perfectly matched with the flow of the song. The photos themselves were absolutely amazing. I'm wondering what your sources were for these photos, as I'd love to have some copies for my personal library. Tiocfaidh ár lá.

+feniangirl I am so sorry to get back to you 6 mths later ,but thank you so much for the compliment of watching and commenting ,I never expected anyone to watch never mind compliment,go raibh maith agat.

Brilliant juxtaposition! Well done

WHAT does the footage have to do with the song?? A liittle disturbing. 

Does anyone know if I can find the notes for the flute intro anywhere?

That's me in the buggy  2.03,waitng for royalties!!! Joke, great vid,thanx 4 posting xx

This brings back happy memories growing up in Belfast thanks for upload

The young impressionable lads being lead down a road to war themselves...only to become warriors in a few years, they will be holding the real guns soon enough...beautiful song and story...

Thank you for taking the time to watch

MsRhianon

what can I say lies lies etc

anthony shute <----- clearly from england

Thank you MsRhianon for this wonderful video. Thought provoking photos and real memories,  Jason McCoy do you really know anything?  TWAT . I shall watch this every day for sure.

fuck off hater!

Thank you Jayne Collins for watching & commenting.

@Jason McCoy Took the words right out of my mouth.

 

@Jayne Collins You are more than welcome Jayne

Great photo at 1:37

Just beautiful. Can say no more

Talk about some fantastic photo's of the war between the IRA and British.....

Very powerful video, but I'm not sure I like taking traditional music and putting it in this context. There's so much more to Irish history than the Troubles, and taking music and putting it in that context sells it short and further reinforces the idea that the Troubles are the definitive part of the Irish national identity. That is to say, when many people think of Ireland, they think of St Patrick's day and PIRA, trad music is a great gateway to show people that there is so much more than that!

The video is incredible.

I agree 100 %....

The incredible part is that you watched it & commented,thank you so much.

@MsRhianon I love the music and video. But after reading the comments, I really would like to hear what the artist that put it together has to say about the 'point' of the video or the idea that you are sharing. Thanks.

I love the Irish I love the British why can't we just live in peace

Americans die all over the world trying to help people and we don't even tell our "allies" in England to honor the agreement they made and get out of Ireland.

Jim Clancy who cares about americans irish people die around the world too you stupid

Never have seen a better vid dealing with the troubles - Thank You

Thank you for watching & commenting Matthias .
