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 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.
