Danny Boy

 

Danny Boy Lyrics

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, `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.

And I`ll be here
in sunshine or in shadow.
Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy,
I love you so.

But if you come,
and all the flowers are falling.
And I am dead,
as dead I might well be.

You`ll come and find
the place where I am lying.
And kneel and say
an "Ave" there for me.

And I will hear,
though soft your tread above me.
And all my grave
will warmer sweeter be.

And you will bend
and tell me that you love me.
And I shall sleep
in peace until you come to me.

But if I live,
and should you die for Ireland,
Let not your dying thoughts
be just of me.

But say a prayer to God
for our dearest Ireland.
I know He`ll hear
and help to set her free.

And I will take your pike
and place my dearest,
And strike a blow,
though weak the blow may be.

T`will help the cause
to which your heart was nearest
Oh Danny Boy, Oh, Danny boy
I love you so.
