Happy St. Patrick's Day

Over in Kilarny, many years ago
Me mother sang a song to me
In words so sweet & low.
Just a simple little ditty
In her good old Irish way.
And I'd give the world if once more
I could hear me mother say:

Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ra, Too-ra-loo-ra-lai
Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ra, Hush now don't you cry
Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ra, Too-ra-loo-ra-lai
Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ra, It's an Irish Lullaby

Oft in dreams I've wandered, to that cot again
I feel her arms a-huggin' me as when she held me then
And I hear her voice a-callin' to me as in days of yore
When she used to rock me fast asleep inside the cabin door

(Repeat refrain.)
