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 dying |
|
'Tis you, 'tis you must go and I must bye |
|
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 he come and all the roses dying |
|
And I am dead, as dead I well may be |
|
He'll come and find the place where I am lying |
|
And kneel and say an Ava there for me |
|
And I shall feel, oh, soft you tread above me |
|
And then my grave will richer, sweeter be |
|
For you will bend and tell me that you love me |
|
And I shall rest in peace until you come to me |
