Too-Ra-Loo-Ra-Loo-Ral (That’s An Irish Lullaby) – Van Morrison
By
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 l’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.
