Lyrics:
Over in Killarney,many years ago
My 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
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, it's an Irish lullaby
Oft in dreams I wander
to that cot again
I feel her arms a-hugging me
As when she held me then
And I hear her voice a-hummin'
to me as in the days of yore
when she used to rock me fast asleep
outside the cabin door
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, it's an Irish lullaby
My great grandfather was orphaned during the famine - He came over from Ireland on an ‘orphan ship’ and was adopted by an Irish family here in America - John Moran was his name - We have an ancient music box that plays this lullaby - It’s our most prized earthly possession 💕
How uncertain and scary that must have been for your grandfather.
What a precious story. 💚☘️🍀
You're honoured. Terrible, but that music box is sacred. Can I have it? Only joking. Respect.
Oh the memories. My parents used to pay this when I was growing up ❤
MINE TOO! Their house in Ardfert was torn down and he died shortly thereafter.
This is the only song I can't hear without crying. Tears of sadness and joy. Dad sang it to each of his 12 children every evening when he came home from work. He'd swoop up the baby and waltz around the lounge room with him/her. Sometimes with several other children hanging on or with arms wrapped around his legs. I'm the oldest so I heard it many, many times. When he died we played it for him as he was carried out of the church but when Mum died the priest didn't think it was appropriate so we played it at the graveside as she was lowered into the ground. The only other song he ever sang was Galway Bay.
Tears in my eyes now. sorry they had to die and sorry that priest was such a fockin' cunt.
No priest has the right to say what song we leave this world to imo.☘️
Gee, what a stupid priest.
Tangihuia Lions Lodge mom sang it to us, six, at bedtime when she would tuck us in❣️
My daddy sung to us too. I miss him so dearly. As sad as it was the priest was not letting you give your mom the send off you wanted, I think kinda neat as you tucked her in to her final resting place the song was played then. I know it hurts now but maybe in time you will comfort from it. So sorry for your loss, Hugs
how to turn me into a 70 year old blubbering baby in less than 4 minutes. i still miss my mother, and i'm a great great grandfather. thank you for this.
41 and same 😭
No matter how old you get missing your mother is a normal and natural thing.
My mom used to sing this to me every night when I was a little girl.
I miss my Irish mother Mary
I'm an old man, but to this day I can hear my own dear Gran singing this to us kids at bedtime.
My Dad sang this to me as a child and now I sing it to my children
Thank you Barney Gumble
DoctaPhill hahahahaha

My Daddy sang this to me all the time, he passed away 45 years ago when I was 12 tonight's the first time I've heard it since then. It made me smile and cry.
My mother always sang it to me and I have sung it to my daughters and grandchildren. I hope they continue the tradition.
As a mom it is somehow touching to see grown men, however formally dressed, sing a lullaby as if from childhood
My dad used to sing this in his beautiful baritone voice, when I was a child. I would give anything to hear him sing it again. He would have been 103 next Tuesday, June 8th. Made it to 95! I miss you, Dad.
My father used to sing this to us when we were children.
My grandmother used to sing this to my brother and me when she would put us to bed. It always leaves me with a smile.
My gran used to sing it to me now I sing it to my daughter, I miss my gran everyday.
When my daughter was young up until she was about 10, I had to sing this to her every night, even over the phone when I worked nights. She's in her late twenties now & she doesn't want me to do it anymore. sob sob
Reminds me of my grandmother singing this to me.
My grandmother, My Nanny ,would this song to me when l was a little boy, l M now 74. I will never forget her
My dad used to sing this song to me when I was little. I miss him so much !
My dad did as well it will be my father daughter song and he doesn't know it yet
Remembering my dada. Father of 7 children a miner from South Yorkshire.He sang this song to us all.
I sing this to my grandchildren :-)
I sang this to all of my children, especially when they were sick.
My grandmother was the first of her family to be born in the States.
McGlamery and McClanahan.
Miss you Grandma
ERIN GO BRAGH
My Mom sang this to me, as her mother did, and her mother all the way back to Dublin
My mom sang this to us many, many nights! Miss her and my Irish Dad.
My poppop bought a music box way back when and it played this exact melody. He passed it down to my father and soon enough my father will pass it down to me. It’s a wooden box that only holds tully whisky with 2 shot glasses and a Celtic symbol carved on the top of the box. We keep pictures of our family that passed away and toast to them each year.
My wife and I sang this to our children. Now we sing it to our grandchild.
Ireland forever!
(from Argentina, with love)
I always fondly think of my daughter when I hear this song because we named her Lura. It's a different spelling but the same pronunciation.
I don't know how you get through singing this song without bursting in tears! Beautiful to hear
my singing teacher had me sing this song when i was a kid, I'm a mother now and this song is such a gift to know
Grandmother sang this song to us. We named a male from every generation Crawford . Had no idea it was a village in Scotland we came from. Beautiful job signing. Scottish and Irish Graham, Buchanan, Stewart, and even ol Bruce runs in these veins. Cherish your ancestry
This was sung at my grandmother's funeral. It always brings me to tears.
I put a four leaf clover on her casket. We went out in the yard all the time searching for them
Perfect. I'll request it at mine, sung it to my kids, now grandchildren
And tears to my eyes now
My dad sang this to me all the time I miss you daddy. Rip I love you ❤️💕
My daddy would sing this to me every nite.... a tenor at its best!! I don’t go a day without thinkin I’d him.. wish he was here
One of the songs Mom sang to me so very many years ago.
My red headed, blue eyed Irish mom sang this song to me as a child and I sang it to my children and grandchildren. Brings a tear to my eye evetime I hear or sing it.
My father always sang this to my Mum-My Dad was from Italy!!!
My mom sang this to us as children.💚💚💚💚
My great - Nana would sing this to us every night. When I became a mum, I also sang it to my boys. My fiance has three little ones and I was told to not sing for the youngest... he doesn't like singing and would most likely hit me for it. It was late afternoon and he was heading towards a meltdown, as most four year olds do that refuse to nap because they might miss something exciting. I picked him up, cradled him close, began to sway and softly began to sing. After the first run-through, I was 'ordered' to sing again. By the end of the third round, he was asleep in my arms. There is something to be said about the power of an Irish lullaby.
Kitty Kearney Well, now you know how to punish the kid :)
What a lovely tale!
This is such a precious story. Thank you for sharing it.. I too sang this to mine--
We Live in the Great Smokie Mountains - I'd sit on the porch and sing to each one- I hope it is one day a very fond & lovingly passed down Piece of me - bit of Us. - All of Us..
The lullaby, love and a sweet voice. Works every time.
As a child, my dad used to sing me to sleep with this, among others, but this was my favorite. We're not Irish but I miss him so much...
My father passed 38 years ago and he sang this when I was a child. It still makes me cry for his love I miss him to this day.
Same goes
What a gloriously beautiful lullaby! Besides babies, this soothes this 70 year-old man, making him cry in the process. 😢 Who better than 3 breathtaking Irish Tenors to perform this? 🍀💚💚💚
Happy St Patrick's Day everyone.☘️Hang in there.☘️🇨🇮☘️🇨🇮
Mrs Ken, used to sing to all 4 of my babies. With love
My grandmother used to sing this to me b4 bed when I was young miss her cant believe been 4 years wish I can hear your voice agien
The first ever song, I sang to my Baby boy last year a day after he was born. I still sing it to him a few times a week to calm him down. It works like magic!
My mother sang this song to me when I was a small child. My beautiful mum has long since crossed the rainbow bridge now, but I would give anything to hear her voice one more time.
Losing the people that you love is one of life’s cruelest blows and an experience that I wish nobody had to go through.
Never miss a chance to say I love you to the people who matter to you. Believe me, you can wake up one day to find that chance has been taken away from you. 💔
My dad used to sing this to me as I was going to bed when he was in town. He used to travel around the mid west working for one of the elevator companies, checking on the construction of them. When he was it was a treat! Dad I miss you so much. RIP Dad.
My Dad Sang this to me And as he sang he said he’s mum sang it to him he was very emotional A true Irish man and so proud of it RIP 🙏🥰🥰
I never heard this before...i really love it and wish i knew it when my kids were little...now my grandkids are grown too. Maybe ill be blessed to be a great grandmother and can sing it to my great grandkids 😁😁👍❤️💕
My daddy sang this song to put me to sleep at night. I loved to listen to him sing. Daddy is why I love music so much! This is one my favorite. This comes from the Irish side of his family, the Kenney's. I miss you daddy and I sang this to my kids and now my grandchildren.
I'm going to sing this for my Dad at his funeral. I thank God every day that he is still alive. He sang this to me when I was a child before I slept. When he is gone, I hope to finally sing it for him once he decides to sleep for good.
I think you should also sing it to him while he’s still here 👍
Sang this to my four children And grand children. I am 81 years of age and can remember hearing my father singing these Irish songs and playing the accordion. When Irish Eye Were Smiling, Galway Bay, Danny Boy. My granddaughter and her hubby sing Toora Loora Looal to my great granddaughter. She named her after my great grandmother. What a beautiful blessing. I am so humble to be given this gift . To all you Irish ken. God bless ye
when my son was born in 1981. My mother taught me that song I dang it to all my 4. Baby's. Now I sing to my grand children no # 3 coming in Dec .
Playing this for my grandson 3 weeks old As my grandparents did for me.
I'm not Irish, but, every time I hear this song it gives me goosebumps! It's a beautiful song and I love it !!
This reminds me of my lovely mother, who passed away last February. Tears of sorrow and joy.
Missing my Grandma Sarah today, her birthday. She lived a long productive, strong Irish life and turned 100 in Tuam, Co. Galway. She sang this song on her 100th birthday. She was the sweetest. We loved her so much and I'm glad she passed this song on.
Just came from Tuam , I hope you’ve been able to visit . If not put it on your bucket list . My grandfather was born just outside of Tuam , found his birthplace and in my opinion county Galway is the most beautiful part of Ireland 🍀🇮🇪 !!!
Grannie sang tthis to me first!I miss her so!!!!!!
My bedridden blind Grandad would sing this, I can still hear him. The finest Gentleman I ever knew. So proud to have Irish blood from both sides. This is beautiful, thanks so much for the memory and tears. Take care, Anna.

The same with my Father who was a NYC POLICEMAN, he sang this So beautifully, I can hear him now, Raymond T Kelly, he was born 1908 & died in 1963 Miss him & my Mother Helen A Sheehan Kelly who was born in 1912 & died in 1980. When the family got together at Nana (Anna R Sheehan) house in Brooklyn on Sundays this song & many more still bring me to tears, How I miss those days🥰💔😍
this bring back great memories. my father would sing me this song almost every night.
My Great Grandma and my Grandma and my mother would wind this to me as a little girl and to this day I've been into my children and my grandchildren such a BEAUTIFUL SONG
Ahhh... Irish by birth right. To top it off, my sister was born on St Patrick's Day. A touching moment with this song. JMJ
my mum sang this to me years ago. just love it
a para Olympian, a tenor and a doctor of medicine.. Dr Tynan I salute you..
Magz Sara wow
He is amazing. He has artificial legs from the knees down, but rides a horse beautifully. He is an orthopedic surgeon and sings so beautifully, too. I saw an interview in which he said he sang to the grazing cows on his family farm to calm then.
I am Spain love the irish tenors toora-loora-looral
Three tenors singing Irish Lullaby - beautiful! Sang this to our first grandson just last week/he went right to sleep, of course. He'll be 2 weeks old on 2.10.
Well, it is an Irish Lullaby :)
Mc Dermott has the most natural and beautiful voice of the bunch. My Old Man wrecks me every time!
My father sang this song to me when I was just a little girl, then I sang it to my girls when they were young. Now I don't know if the song will ever be sung to my grandchildren because no one has time anymore, such a shame that the old songs will be gone.
Anyone remember the song "A Mother's Love Is a Blessing"? Beautiful song.
I love this song--I remember my parents singing it to us when we were little. Sweet memories.

You all sing to my Celtic roots. I love it. It will be the only way I ever feel the mother land of my ancestors. Thank you.
I believe I first heard this group in 1998 in my pre-computer days. I had never heard of them before, but managed to record much of the show on my vcr. I believe it was on PBS. Eventually I was able to buy the cd, but I will never forget hearing Wild Mountain Thyme for the first time. I was amazed and tried to find it again. The was not easy back then. The Three Tenors I could find, the Three Irish Tenors, not so much.. thank you for posting their wonderful music.
No Irish blood in me that I know of. But When I hear this song I'm 100% Irish.
Just song it to my two ltitle dogs. They are now fast asleep. 🐶🐶
Uhhhhh no.
That's like telling someone from the Caribbean that when you hear that music you're 100% Caribbean.
I believe that the names Black, White, Green(e,) Brown and Gray are all Irish names. Welcome to the family!
Plenty Irish in me. Cajun also. I love this son, and my husband and I sang 3 babies to sleep by it. One of those babies still has red highlights in his dark brown hair.
That's what St Patty's is for. Everyone is Irish that day.
If you're lucky enough to be Irish, you're lucky enough.
i sing this to my cousins during bed time they always ask for it
Well it is an Irish Lullaby :) glad they enjoy it
This song brings back memories!! Love you Dad!!!
Beautiful Melody!
My grandma & mama used to sing this ditty to me when I was just a wee lass. ❤️
Even the Irish Tenors can't resist putting the ole Bing "Lilt" in the song.
I noticed that, too....thanks....great comment.
Handed down through at least four generations of my family.
thats fabulous....
... I agree ;)
remember my mom singing this to me … beautiful back in 1947
i love these irish songs and i dont know why
+Mahou Shoujo because they touch your heart....that makes them special...
Because they're all so beautiful, that's why.
Wonderful!
Stunning! Tears are falling here ❤❤❤
Sooo EXQUISITELY done....we(Irish) are happy with it. 🕊❤️☘☘☘☘☘☘
My grandpa sang this to my mom, my mom sang it to me and I sang it to my daughter!
I didn't know budda was Irish! Just kidding, I hope your tradition never dies.
Dermott Studio u have proven my point
Same...My mom sang it to me, I sang it to my boys and now to my grandchildren with great love.
Five generations of my family that I know of starting with my grandparents down to my grandchildren.
IRISHBUDDAFILTH cf
wonderful
Remembering Aunt Jean Jennings singing to us as children.
The Human Voice sung properly simply beautiful The language of the real people
the ones that do all the proper work to keep their country ticking over
This is an absolutely beautiful song. We named our daughter Lura and, of course, I always think of her when I hear this song. I hope she has a daughter some day and gives her daughter this beautiful name. I know it isn't used as a name in the song, but I still think of her.
Wonderful song. My grandfather use to sing this when I was a child ..
I sang both of my babies to sleep with this lullaby. Thinking of using it for my mother/son dance in August.
Brings back memories of my childhood, mam used to sing this , beautiful 💕
Thank you very very much, amazing.
I grew up in Germany but my ancestors were Irish so I'm guessing that's why I can't get this song out of my head xD I haven't heard this song in years xD
One of the prettiest lullaby tunes I have ever heard.
Bravo to the Irish!
This was my Mother / Son Song at my wedding 10 1/2 years ago. I'm 38, and till this day, I can remember my Mom singing this song to me when I was just a baby. Amazing how the mind can connect with music and create a memory that lasts a lifetime!
Thats what good music does, This song is exactly 100 years old and will probably last forever. Unlike all these popular thoughtless songs that are meaningless and inappropriate.
Oh love love this song and you trio sing it so beautifully! My mother rocked me singing this! ❤️❤️❤️👏👏👏
i'm korean. but my soul always ireland.
this was my lullaby
I bought a cassette at Goodwill that had these guys on it. Never thought I would love these songs as much as I do now. They're heartfelt singing has gotten me through some pretty rough stuff.
