An Irish Lullaby Songtext
von Daniel O’Donnell

Over in Killarney
Many years ago
My 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 my world if she could sing
That song for me today


Too-ra loo-ra loo-ra
Too-ra loo-ra lie
Too-ra loo-ra loo-ra
Hush now don't you cry
Too-ra loo-ra loo-ra
Too-ra loo-ra lie
Too-ra loo-ra loo-ra
That′s an Irish lullaby

Often 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′ hummin′
To me as in days of yore'
When she used to rock me fast asleep
Outside our cottage door

Too-ra loo-ra loo-ra
Too-ra loo-ra lie
Too-ra loo-ra loo-ra
Hush now don′t you cry
Too-ra loo-ra loo-ra
Too-ra loo-ra lie
Too-ra loo-ra loo-ra
That's an Irish lullaby
