Over in Kilarney, many years ago
My mother sang a song to me in tones so sweet and low
Just a simple little ditty in our old Irish way
And I'd give the world if she could sing that song to me this day
Toora, loora, looral
Toora, loora, la
Toora, loora, looral
Hush now, don't you cry
Toora, loora, looral
Toora, loora, la
Toora, loora, looral
It's an Irish lullabye
Oft in dreams I've wandered
To that part again
I feel her arms are 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 bedroom door
Toora, loora, looral
Toora, loora, la
Toora, loora, looral
Hush now, don't you cry
Toora, loora, looral
Toora, loora, la
Toora loora loorah
It's an Irish lullabye
