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.
