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 ye back when summer's in the meadow

Or when the valleys hushed and white with snow

Yes I'll be here in sunshine or in shadows

Oh Danny boy oh Danny boy I love you so



But when ye come and all the flowers are dying

If I am dead as dead I well may be

Ye'll come and find the place where I am lying

And kneel and say an Ave there for me



And I shall hear tho' 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
