Out she comes as white as snow Wrings on her fingers, bells on her toes

Verse 3:
     D                         A         D
Let the wind and the rain and the hail blow high, And the snow come tumbling from the sky

She's as nice as apple pie And she'll get her own lad by and by
 D       G         D            A
When she gets a lad of her own She won't tell her ma when she comes home

Let them all come as they will For it's Albert Mooney she loves still
