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 flow'rs are dying

It's you must go and I must bide

But come you 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

But if you come when all the flow'rs are dying

And 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 dreams will warmer and sweeter be

If you're not afraid to tell me that you love me

I simply sleep in peace until you come to me
