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 too ra loo ra loo ral too ra loo ra li too ra loo ra loo ral hush now don t you cry 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 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
