James Royce Shannon, The Band, Van Morrison - Too Ra Loo Ra Loo Ral lyrics
[James Royce Shannon, The Band, Van Morrison - Too Ra Loo Ra Loo Ral lyrics]
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 to hear her sing
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 lul la-by
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 humming
To me as in days of yore
When she used to rock me fast asleep
Outside the cabin door
Another verse
Oh I can hear that music
I can hear that song
Filling me with memories
Of a mother's love so strong
Its melody still haunts me
These many years gone bye
Too ra loo ra loo ral until the day I die
