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 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
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
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 It's you, it's you, must go and I must bide
But when ye come and all the flowers are dying If I am dead and dead I well may be
