1. 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 I'd give the world if she could sing
That song to me this day.
Tooralooralooral,
Tooraloorali,
Tooralooralooral,
Hush, now don't you cry!
Tooralooralooral,
Tooraloorali,
Tooralooralooral,
That's an Irish lullaby.
2. 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.
