Need more information, Ron.

Can't seem to locate anything under any spelling, such as

Ole Leay,
Old Leay
Ol' Leay
 
Ole Lea
Old Lea
Ol' Lea
 
Ole Leahy
Old Leahy
Ol' Leahy

. Do you remember any of the words?

Ron, you have to give us more than two words. If your Mother taught it to you, then you must know more than that. Help us out a bit here, bro.

Subject: Lyr Add: THE OLD REFRAIN
From: GUEST,weerover

Could this be the one:

THE OLD REFRAIN

I often think of home Dee-ol-ee-ay
When I am all alone and far away;
I sing an old refrain, dee-ol-ee-ay
For it recalls to me a bygone day

It takes me back again to meadows fair
Where sunlight's golden rays beam everywhere
My childhood joys again come back to me
My mother's face in fancy too I see

It was my mother taught me how to sing
And to that memory my heart will cling
I'm never sad and alone while on my way
As long as I can sing Dee-ol-ee-ay

Though years have passed and gone, dee-ol-ee-ay
And though my heart is young my head is grey.
Yet still the echoes ring, dee-ol-ee-ay
And dear old memories forever stay.

This song will bring me visions full of light
And sweetest dreams throughout the darkest night
Of all that life can give, that song is best
I'll take it with me when I go to rest

And when at last my journey here is o'er
'Twill ring more joyfully than e'er before
For up to heavens I will take my lay
The angels, too, will sing dee-ol-ee-ay

(as sung by Paddy Reilly)
