Too-Ra-Loo-Ra-Loo-Ral (that's An Irish Lullaby)
by: Ann BreenOver in Killarney
Many years ago,
Me Mother sang a song to me
In tones so sweet and low.
Just a simple little ditty,
In a good old Irish way,
And I would give the world if I
Could hear her song today.
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.
Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, Too-ra-loo-ra-li,
