Tuesday Tunes - 03/18/14


A good lyric is like a great book...

A St. Patrick's Day favorite...simple, but so lovely (and it just happens to be in Purely Vocals' repertoire, in four part harmony of course!).


Too-Ra-Loo-Ra-Loo-Ral (That's an Irish Lullaby)
Bing Crosby, Artists
James Royce Shannon, Composer (gotta love that name!)




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.
 
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 old 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.
