Lyrics
(Irish folk song)
The October winds lament
Around the castle of Dromore
Yet peace is in her lofty halls
My loving treasure store
Though Autumn leaves may droop and die
a bud of spring are you sing hush-a-by
Loo, la-lo, la lan
Sing hush-a-by loo la lo

I love this song. I used to sing it to my little girl when she was a baby. Beautiful. 🙂
