Too ra loo ra loo ral

Over In Killarney
Many years ago
My Mother sang a song to me
In tones so sweet and low;
Just a simple little ditty
In her good old Irish way
And I'd give the world to hear her sing
That song of hers today

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 lul-la-by

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 humming
To me as in days of yore
When she used to rock me fast asleep
Outside the cabin door


Another verse...

Oh I can hear that music
I can hear that song
Filling me with memories
Of a mother's love so strong

Its melody still haunts me
These many years gone bye
Too ra loo ra loo ral
Until the day I die
