Danny Boy
Lyrics
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
'Tis you, 'tis 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
'Tis I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow
Oh, Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so!
And when you come, and all the the leaves are dying
And though 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 though my grave will warmer, sweeter be
And you will bend and tell me that you love me
And I shall sleep in peace until you come to me
Yes, I shall sleep in peace until you come to me!
