Irish Lullaby

Over in Killarney
Many years ago
My mother sang this song to me
In a voice so soft and low
Twas a simple little ditty
In a good old Irish way
And I'd give the world if I could hear
Her sing that song today

*Toora loora loora
Toora loora lie
Toora loora loora
Hush now don't you cry
Toora loora loora
Toora loora lie
Toora loora loora
It's an Irish Lullaby*

Oft in dreams I wander
Back to that cot again
I feel her arms hugging 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

*Chorus*
T
