Subject: RE: Too-a-loo-ra-loo-ra: Irish lullaby
This is the song that my mother sang to me.
Over in Killarny, many years ago.
My mother sang a ditty in accent soft and low.
Just a simple little ditty in her good old Irish way.
And I'd give the world to see her,
If once more she would say:
Too-a-loo-ra-loo-ra, Too-a-loo-ra-li,
Too-a-loo-ra-loo-ra, hush now don't you cry.
Too-a-loo-ra-loo-ra, Too-a-loo-ra-li,
Too-a-loo-ra-loo-ra. It's an Irish lullaby.
