Oh

Danny boy

The pipes

The pipes are calling

From glen to glen

And down the mountain side

The summer's gone

And all the roses falling

It's you

It's 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 shadow

Oh

Danny boy

Oh danny boy

I love you so

But when ye come

And all the flowers are dying

If I am dead

As 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

Though 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
