Danny Boy
Frederic Weatherly
Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From 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 .
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.
And if you come, when all the flowers are dying
And I am dead, as dead I well may be
You'll come and find the place where I am lying
And kneel and say an there for me.
