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.
