Over in Killarney,
Many years ago,
Me mother sang a song to me
In tones so sweet and low.
Just a simple little ditty,
In her good old Irish way,
And I'd give the world if she could sing
That song to me this day.
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 humin'
To me as in days of yore,
When she used to rock me fast asleep
Outside the cabin door.
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.
