| 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. |
