Lyrics

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 sweet ould 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
