Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral (that's An Irish Lullaby ) Lyrics - Perry Como

Over in Killarney 

Many years ago, 

Me 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 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." 

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 asleep 

Outside the cabin door.
