I’ll Tell Me Ma

Also know as “The Wind” or “The Belle of Belfast City”, this is a popular childrens’ song in Ireland, usually accompanied by a game in which children hold hands forming a circle around another child. At the end of the chorus, when they ask “Please won’t you tell me who they be?”, the one in the center says the initials of another in the group and he or she takes the place at the center of the ring as the rest start the song again.
