(J.R. Shannon)
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.
"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.
"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..."
