Oh, Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen and down the mountains side
The summer's gone and all the leafs are falling
It's you, it's you, must go and I must cry
But come me back, when summer's in the meadows
Or when the valleys hushed and white with snow
And I'll be there in sunshine or in shadow
Oh, Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so
And when you come and all the flowers are dying
If I am dead - as dead I well may be
You'll come and find a place where I am lying
And kneel and say an Ave there for me:
And I shall hear though soft your tread above me
And all my grave shall warmer, sweeter be
For you will bend and tell me that you love me
And I shall live in peace, until you come to me
