Irish Lullaby

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-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.

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.
