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 |
|
'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 he 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, tho' soft you tread above me |
|
And all my grave will warm and sweeter be |
|
For you will bend and tell me that you love me |
|
And I shall sleep in peace until you come to me. |
