lyrics

Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
All through the glen, and down the mountain side
The summer's gone, and all the flowers are dying
'Tis you, 'tis you, 'tis you must go and I must bide.

But come ye back when winter sweeps the meadow
When all the land is hushed and white with snow
For I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow
Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so.

When you come, and all the flowers are dying
And I am dead, as dead I well may be
Won't you come and find the place where I am lying
Won't you kneel and say an "Ave" for me.

And I will hear, how soft you tread above me
And all my place the warm and sweeter be
But I will hear you tell me that you love me
And I will sleep in peace until you come to me.

And I will hear, as soft you tread above me
And all my place the warm and sweeter be
And I will hear you tell me that you love me
And I will sleep in peace until you come for me.
