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 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,

'Tis I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow.

Oh Danny Boy, Oh Danny Boy, I love you so…

But when ye come, and all the flowers are dying

And if I'm dead, as dead I well may be.

Ye'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 you tread above me.

And all my grave will warmer, sweeter be,

For you’ll bend to tell me that you love me,

Then I shall sleep in peace until you come to me.
