Toora-Loora-Looral

by The Irish Tenors

on Dublin (2011), Live From Dublin (2010)

Over in Killarny
Many years ago
My mother sang a song to me
In tones so sweet and low

Just a simple little ditty
In our good old Irish way
And I'd give the world if she would sing
That song to me this day

Toora loora loora, toora loora la
Toora loora loora, hush now, don't you cry
Toora loora loora, toora loora la
Toora loora loora, it's an Irish lullaby

Loft in dreams I've wandered
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 the cabin door

Toora loora loora, toora loora la
Toora loora loora, hush now, don't you cry
Toora loora loora, toora loora la
Toora loora loora, it's an Irish lullaby
