There is no correct answer to this. Top Of The Morning To You, was a phrase coined in the Vaudeville variety shows attributed to the Irish as a standard term of welcome. This phrase along with terms like too ra loo ra, are not Irish, or for that matter did not exist beyond the writers imagination of what home life was like in small town rural Ireland.
