Too Ra Loo Ra Loo Ral

(That's and Irish lullaby)

Over in Killarney,
Many years ago,
Me mother sang a song to me
In tones so sweet and low.
Just a simple little ditty,
In her good ould Irish way,
And I'd give the world if she could sing
That song to me this day.

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

Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral,
Too-ra-loo-rali,
Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral
That's and Irish lullaby.

Oft, in dreams I wander
To that cot again,
I feel her arms a hugging' 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-rali,
Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral
Hush, now don't you cry!
Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral,
Too-ra-loo-rali,
Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral
That's and Irish lullaby.
