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 shadows Oh, Danny boy, oh, Danny boy I love you so But when ye come, and all the flowers are dying, If I am dead, as dead I well may be, You'll come and 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 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! 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 shadows Oh, Danny boy, oh, Danny boy I love you so
