Verse 1: Over in Killarney, Many years ago,
Me Mither sang a song to me, In tones so sweet and low,
Just a simple little ditty, In her good ould Irish way,
And I'd give the world if she could sing, That song to me this day.

Chorus: "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."

Verse 2: 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 hummin', To me as in days of yore,
When she used to rock me fast a-sleep, Outside the cabin door.

Chorus: "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."
