| Lyrics: | Over in killarney
Many years ago,
Me mither sang a song to me
In tones so sweet and
low.
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.
Chorus:
"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 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-hummin'
To me as in days
of yore,
When she used to rock me fast asleep
Outside the cabin door. |
