My great grandfather was orphaned during the famine - He came over from Ireland on an ‘orphan ship’ and was adopted by an Irish family here in America - John Moran was his name - We have an ancient music box that plays this lullaby - It’s our most prized earthly possession 💕
how to turn me into a 70 year old blubbering baby in less than 4 minutes. i still miss my mother, and i'm a great great grandfather. thank you for this.
My dad used to sing this in his beautiful baritone voice, when I was a child. I would give anything to hear him sing it again. He would have been 103 next Tuesday, June 8th. Made it to 95! I miss you, Dad.
I sang this to all of my children, especially when they were sick. My grandmother was the first of her family to be born in the States. McGlamery and McClanahan. Miss you Grandma ERIN GO BRAGH
This is the only song I can't hear without crying. Tears of sadness and joy. Dad sang it to each of his 12 children every evening when he came home from work. He'd swoop up the baby and waltz around the lounge room with him/her. Sometimes with several other children hanging on or with arms wrapped around his legs. I'm the oldest so I heard it many, many times. When he died we played it for him as he was carried out of the church but when Mum died the priest didn't think it was appropriate so we played it at the graveside as she was lowered into the ground. The only other song he ever sang was Galway Bay.
My daddy sung to us too. I miss him so dearly. As sad as it was the priest was not letting you give your mom the send off you wanted, I think kinda neat as you tucked her in to her final resting place the song was played then. I know it hurts now but maybe in time you will comfort from it. So sorry for your loss, Hugs
My Daddy sang this to me all the time, he passed away 45 years ago when I was 12 tonight's the first time I've heard it since then. It made me smile and cry.
When my daughter was young up until she was about 10, I had to sing this to her every night, even over the phone when I worked nights. She's in her late twenties now & she doesn't want me to do it anymore. sob sob
My poppop bought a music box way back when and it played this exact melody. He passed it down to my father and soon enough my father will pass it down to me. It’s a wooden box that only holds tully whisky with 2 shot glasses and a Celtic symbol carved on the top of the box. We keep pictures of our family that passed away and toast to them each year.
Grandmother sang this song to us. We named a male from every generation Crawford . Had no idea it was a village in Scotland we came from. Beautiful job signing. Scottish and Irish Graham, Buchanan, Stewart, and even ol Bruce runs in these veins. Cherish your ancestry
I'm going to sing this for my Dad at his funeral. I thank God every day that he is still alive. He sang this to me when I was a child before I slept. When he is gone, I hope to finally sing it for him once he decides to sleep for good.
My great - Nana would sing this to us every night. When I became a mum, I also sang it to my boys. My fiance has three little ones and I was told to not sing for the youngest... he doesn't like singing and would most likely hit me for it. It was late afternoon and he was heading towards a meltdown, as most four year olds do that refuse to nap because they might miss something exciting. I picked him up, cradled him close, began to sway and softly began to sing. After the first run-through, I was 'ordered' to sing again. By the end of the third round, he was asleep in my arms. There is something to be said about the power of an Irish lullaby.
This is such a precious story. Thank you for sharing it.. I too sang this to mine-- We Live in the Great Smokie Mountains - I'd sit on the porch and sing to each one- I hope it is one day a very fond & lovingly passed down Piece of me - bit of Us. - All of Us..
My red headed, blue eyed Irish mom sang this song to me as a child and I sang it to my children and grandchildren. Brings a tear to my eye evetime I hear or sing it.
My dad used to sing this to me as I was going to bed when he was in town. He used to travel around the mid west working for one of the elevator companies, checking on the construction of them. When he was it was a treat! Dad I miss you so much. RIP Dad.
My daddy sang this song to put me to sleep at night. I loved to listen to him sing. Daddy is why I love music so much! This is one my favorite. This comes from the Irish side of his family, the Kenney's. I miss you daddy and I sang this to my kids and now my grandchildren.
What a gloriously beautiful lullaby! Besides babies, this soothes this 70 year-old man, making him cry in the process. 😢 Who better than 3 breathtaking Irish Tenors to perform this? 🍀💚💚💚
Sang this to my four children And grand children. I am 81 years of age and can remember hearing my father singing these Irish songs and playing the accordion. When Irish Eye Were Smiling, Galway Bay, Danny Boy. My granddaughter and her hubby sing Toora Loora Looal to my great granddaughter. She named her after my great grandmother. What a beautiful blessing. I am so humble to be given this gift . To all you Irish ken. God bless ye
I never heard this before...i really love it and wish i knew it when my kids were little...now my grandkids are grown too. Maybe ill be blessed to be a great grandmother and can sing it to my great grandkids 😁😁👍❤️💕
The first ever song, I sang to my Baby boy last year a day after he was born. I still sing it to him a few times a week to calm him down. It works like magic!
Missing my Grandma Sarah today, her birthday. She lived a long productive, strong Irish life and turned 100 in Tuam, Co. Galway. She sang this song on her 100th birthday. She was the sweetest. We loved her so much and I'm glad she passed this song on.
Just came from Tuam , I hope you’ve been able to visit . If not put it on your bucket list . My grandfather was born just outside of Tuam , found his birthplace and in my opinion county Galway is the most beautiful part of Ireland 🍀🇮🇪 !!!
My mother sang this song to me when I was a small child. My beautiful mum has long since crossed the rainbow bridge now, but I would give anything to hear her voice one more time. Losing the people that you love is one of life’s cruelest blows and an experience that I wish nobody had to go through. Never miss a chance to say I love you to the people who matter to you. Believe me, you can wake up one day to find that chance has been taken away from you. 💔
My bedridden blind Grandad would sing this, I can still hear him. The finest Gentleman I ever knew. So proud to have Irish blood from both sides. This is beautiful, thanks so much for the memory and tears. Take care, Anna.
The same with my Father who was a NYC POLICEMAN, he sang this So beautifully, I can hear him now, Raymond T Kelly, he was born 1908 & died in 1963 Miss him & my Mother Helen A Sheehan Kelly who was born in 1912 & died in 1980. When the family got together at Nana (Anna R Sheehan) house in Brooklyn on Sundays this song & many more still bring me to tears, How I miss those days🥰💔😍
My father sang this song to me when I was just a little girl, then I sang it to my girls when they were young. Now I don't know if the song will ever be sung to my grandchildren because no one has time anymore, such a shame that the old songs will be gone. Anyone remember the song "A Mother's Love Is a Blessing"? Beautiful song.
He is amazing. He has artificial legs from the knees down, but rides a horse beautifully. He is an orthopedic surgeon and sings so beautifully, too. I saw an interview in which he said he sang to the grazing cows on his family farm to calm then.
I believe I first heard this group in 1998 in my pre-computer days. I had never heard of them before, but managed to record much of the show on my vcr. I believe it was on PBS. Eventually I was able to buy the cd, but I will never forget hearing Wild Mountain Thyme for the first time. I was amazed and tried to find it again. The was not easy back then. The Three Tenors I could find, the Three Irish Tenors, not so much.. thank you for posting their wonderful music.
My Great Grandma and my Grandma and my mother would wind this to me as a little girl and to this day I've been into my children and my grandchildren such a BEAUTIFUL SONG
Three tenors singing Irish Lullaby - beautiful! Sang this to our first grandson just last week/he went right to sleep, of course. He'll be 2 weeks old on 2.10.
I grew up in Germany but my ancestors were Irish so I'm guessing that's why I can't get this song out of my head xD I haven't heard this song in years xD

This is an absolutely beautiful song. We named our daughter Lura and, of course, I always think of her when I hear this song. I hope she has a daughter some day and gives her daughter this beautiful name. I know it isn't used as a name in the song, but I still think of her.
I bought a cassette at Goodwill that had these guys on it. Never thought I would love these songs as much as I do now. They're heartfelt singing has gotten me through some pretty rough stuff.
This was my Mother / Son Song at my wedding 10 1/2 years ago. I'm 38, and till this day, I can remember my Mom singing this song to me when I was just a baby. Amazing how the mind can connect with music and create a memory that lasts a lifetime!
Thats what good music does, This song is exactly 100 years old and will probably last forever. Unlike all these popular thoughtless songs that are meaningless and inappropriate.
Plenty Irish in me. Cajun also. I love this son, and my husband and I sang 3 babies to sleep by it. One of those babies still has red highlights in his dark brown hair.
My mum sang this to us growing up and we in turn sang it to our kids! Poignant memories to cherish in this COVID-19 lockdown! She’s still going strong at 99 living in a nursing home but I can’t visit!❤️🥰🙏🏼
I remember this song so deeply. When my grandmother died my father played this song for a week while he mourned his dear Irish mother. He sat stonefaced in his chair and i never interrupted his time of sorrow.
Beautiful 😍 rendering of one of the best local songs/verses from Erin's own James Royce Shannon. Very moving; goes miles beyond the film theme to the Yank made " the Quiet Man" with duke Wayne and Cork's own west Cork resident QUEEN 👸 Maureen O'Hara. from: Coolavoohig, county Cork, republic of Ireland. GOD BLESS 🇺🇸 USA . TWO WONDERFUL COUNTRIES.
