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 ye back When summer is in the meadow Or when the valley's hushed And white with snow Yes, I'll be here In sunshine or in shadow Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy I love you so
You'll come and find The place where I am lying And kneel and say An "Ave" there for me
And I will hear Tho' soft you tread above me And all my heart Will warm and sweeter be For you will bend and Tell me that you love me And I will sleep in peace Until you come to me
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
