Irish Lullaby
* * *
Toora, loora, loora,
Toora, loora, li,
Toora, loora, loora,
Hush now don't you cry,
Toora, loora, loora,
Toora, loora, li,
Toora, loora, loora,
It's an Irish Lullaby.
Over in Killarney,
many years ago
My mother sang this 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 today
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-humming
to me, As in days of yore,
When she would rock me fast asleep,
Outside the cabin door.
Toora, loora, loora,
Toora, loora, li,
Toora, loora, loora,
Hush now don't you cry,
Toora, loora, loora,
Toora, loora, li,
Toora, loora, loora,
It's an Irish Lullaby.
It's an Irish Lullaby.
