Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, Too-ra-loo-ra-li, Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, hush now, don't you cry!
Over in Killarney Many years ago, Me Mither sang a song to me In tones so sweet and low.
Oft in dreams I wander To that cot again, I feel her arms a-huggin' me As when she held me then.
Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, Too-ra-loo-ra-li, Too-ra -loo-ra-loo-ral, that's an Irish lullaby."
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.
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.
