That's an Irish lullaby

 

Over in Killarney, many years ago,

My mother sang a song to me in tones so soft and low.

Just a simple little ditty in her good old Irish way.

And I'd give the world if I could hear that song of hers today.

 

Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ra

Too-ra-loo-ra-li

Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ra

Hush now, don't you cry

 

Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ra

Too-ra-loo-ra-li

Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ra

That's an Irish lullaby
