Danny Boy

Danny Boy

Oh Danny Boy the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen and down a mountain side
The summer's gone and all the flowers are falling
‘Tis you 'tis you must go and I must bide

But come ye back when summer's in the meadow
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow
It’s I'll be here in sunshine or in shadows
Oh Danny Boy, Oh Danny Boy, I love you so

And when ye come and all the rose is dying
If I am dead, and dead I well may be
You'll come and find the place where I am lying
And kneel and say an Ave there for me

And I shall hear tho' soft you tread above me
And all my grave will warmer, sweeter be
For you will bend and tell me that you love me
And I shall sleep in peace until you come to me
