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-ra-lal
Too-lo loo-ra loo-ra Hush now don’t you cry
Too-ra loo-ra loo-ral Too-ra loo-ra-lal
Too-lo loo-ra loo-ra that’s an I rish 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 humin'
To me as in days or yore,
When she used to rock me fast asleep
Outside the cabin door.
Too-ra loo-ra loo-ral Too-ra loo-ra-lal
Too-lo loo-ra loo-ra Hush now don’t you cry
Too-ra loo-ra loo-ral Too-ra loo-ra-lal
Too-lo loo-ra loo-ra that’s an I rish lullaby
