Bing Crosby & The Andrews Sisters
Written in 1910 and then modified twice, the song was originally released in 1913 and uses the melody of “Londonderry Air”. It’s the de facto anthem of Irish-Americans.
It’s one of the most over-played songs in history, yet most of us can’t help joining in, especially when the mood of homesickness...
Oh, Danny Boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen and down the mountainside;
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 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 ye come and all the flowers are dying
If I am dead and 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 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
Danny Boy was written by Traditional & Fred E. Weatherly.
Bing Crosby released Danny Boy on Mon Jan 01 1945.
