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 flowers are dying

You must go and I must bide.

But come you back when summer's in the meadow

Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow

I will be there in sunshine or in shadow

Oh Danny boy, I love you so.

And if you come, when all the flowers are dying

And 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 will hear, tho' soft you tread above me

And all your kisses warm and sweeter be

And you'll not fail and tell me you love me

And I will sleep in peace until you come to me.
