Irish Lullaby Lyrics

Written By: J. R. Shannon in 1913, Copyright Unknown

Over in Killarney

Many years ago,

Me Mither (My Mother) sang a song to me

In tones so sweet and low.

Just a simple little ditty,

In her good 'ould' (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, Children - Irish Lullaby - http://motolyrics.com/children/irish-lullaby-lyrics.html

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.

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.
