"Danny Boy" lyrics

O Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen and down the mountainside
The summer's gone and all the roses falling
'Tis you must go, 'tis you must go and I must bide

But come ye back when summer's in the meadow
Or when the valley is hushed and white with snow
'Tis I'll be there in sunshine or in shadow
O Danny boy, O Danny boy, I love you so

But when ye come and all the flowers are dying
If I am dead, as dead I may well 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 shall warmer sweeter be
For you will bend and tell me that you love me
Then I will sleep in peace until you come to me

But come ye back when summer's in the meadow
Or when the valley is hushed and white with snow
'Tis I'll be there in sunshine or in shadow
O Danny boy, O Danny boy, I love you so
O Danny boy, O Danny boy, I love you so
O Danny boy, O Danny boy, I love you so
