Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral (that's An Irish Lullaby)

Over in killarney

Many years ago,

Me mither sang a song to me

In tones so sweet and low.

Just a simple little ditty,

In her good ould irish way,

And l'd give the world if she could sing

That song to me this day.



Chorus:

"too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, too-ra-loo-ra-li,

Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, hush now, don't you cry!

Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, too-ra-loo-ra-li,

Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, that's an irish lullaby."



Oft in dreams i wander

To that cot again,

I feel her arms a-huggin' me

As when she held me then.

And i hear her voice a-hummin'

To me as in days of yore,

When she used to rock me fast asleep

Outside the cabin door.
