That's An Irish Lullaby - John Gary

That's An Irish Lullaby sung by John Gary, a brilliant voice.

Over in Killarney,
Many years ago,
Me mother sang a song to me
In tones so sweet and low.
Just a simple little ditty,
In her good ould 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,
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 humin'
To me as in days or 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,
That's an Irish lullaby

@lorchangita I sang it to you too, you know. Trying to get you to calm down outside rehearsal at Cajon Park or at home late at night at bedtime. It fit your name too well not to change a little. Love, Dad

No one sings like John Gary! He has such a warm tenor voice - so easy to listen to. And a big plus was that he deep dives and it shows in his breath control. Check out his Unchained Melody. I have several of his albums on vynal with no way to play them since my record player went caput. Oh well, that's my next project - converting my vynal to digital.
