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 you back
when summer's in the meadow
All 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 you 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
