(Traditional/lyrics by Fred E. Weatherly)
|
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
|
'Tis you, 'tis you must go and I must bide.
|
|
But come you back when summer's in the meadow
|
Or all 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.
|
|
But when you come, when all the flowers are dying
|
If I am dead, as dead I well may be
|
Then if you bend and tell me that you love me
|
I'll sleep in peace until you come to me
|
|
But come ye back when summer's in the meadow
|
Or all 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.
