§ Lyrics §

O Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling,
From glen to glen, and down the mountainside,
The summer's gone, and all the flowers are dying,
'Tis you, 'tis 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,
'Tis I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow,
O Danny boy, O Danny boy, I love you so.

But if you come, and all the flowers are dying,
If I am dead, as dead I well may be,
I pray ye find the place where I am lying,
And kneel and say an Ave there for me.

And I shall hear, though soft you tread above me,
And all my dream will warmer, sweeter be,
And then you will kneel and whisper that you love me,
And I shall rest in peace until you come to me.
