"Toor A Loo Tooralay" lyrics

Oh, the harvest, it is home and it's now that I must roam
To try and seek me fortune in a far and distant land

The ship, it's on the quay, they're waiting there for me
Farewell, my love until we meet again
I will love you in the morning, just as the day was dawning
I love you while the skies are blue or gray
In the spring when trees are budding
When autumn leaves are falling
Or when the evening comes around:
I love you, toor a lay
Toor a loo, toor a lay, toor a loor a lay
Toor a loo, toor a lay, toor a loor a lay

I'll be true to you, my love, sure, as the star shines up above
That guides a ship that takes me to a far and distant land

The ship, it's on the quay, they're waiting there for me
Farewell, my love until we meet again
I will love you in the morning, just as the day was dawning
I love you while the skies are blue or gray
In the spring when trees are budding
When autumn leaves are falling
Or when the evening comes around:
I love you, toor a lay
Toor a loo, toor a lay, toor a loor a lay
Toor a loo, toor a lay, toor a loor a lay

So farewell, my love, goodbye, now, do not weep or cry
I'll send you back the fare from this far and distant land

The ship, it's on the quay, they're waiting there for me
Farewell, my love until we meet again
I will love you in the morning, just as the day was dawning
I love you while the skies are blue or gray
In the spring when trees are budding
When autumn leaves are falling
Or when the evening comes around:
I love you, toor a lay
Toor a loo, toor a lay, toor a loor a lay
Toor a loo, toor a lay, toor a loor a lay
