Danny Boy

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 leaves are 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
And I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow
Oh, Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so

And when you come, if all the leaves are falling
And if I'm dead and dead I well may be
You'll come and find the place where I am lying
And kneel and say an ave over me

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

Oh, Danny boy
Oh, Danny boy, I love you so
