[Verse 1]

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 flowers are falling

'Tis you, 'this you must go and I must bye

[Verse 2]

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

Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy I love you so

[Verse 3]

And when you come and all the roses are dying

If I am dead, as dead I well may be

You'll come here and find the place where I am lying

And kneel and say an "Ave" there for me

[Verse 4]

And I shall hear, though 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
