Irish Lullaby lyrics

How Can You Buy Killarny / An Irish Lullaby



This little song I use to sing to my lad whose in the crowd tonight I`m going to embarrass him now when he was only a baby he is now 20 yrs old



An American landed on Erin`s green isle

He gazed on killarny with a rapturous smile

How can I buy it he said to the guy

I`ll tell you how with a smile he replied

How can you buy all the stars in the sky

How can you buy two Blue Irish eyes

When you can purchase a fine mothers heart

Then you can buy killarny

Nature restore on her guilt`s with a smile

Me and Rose the shamrock and the barley

When you can buy all those wonderful things

Then you can buy killarny

Over in Killarny, Many years ago,

there`s a song my mother sang to me

in a voice so sweet and low.

Just a simple Irish ditty,

in her sweetould fashion way,

and I`d give the world if I could hear

that song of hers today.

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.
