an irish lullaby - brobdingnagian bards lyrics

Loading...

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!
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.

key c

verse/chorus:
c f c
c f g7
c f c
c f g7

background: originally recorded by bing crosby, the
words are by j.r. shannon in the 1890s though i suspect
the melody is much much older…perhaps as old as the
days of yore?)
