W:Oh, Danny Boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
W:From glen to glen, and down the mountain side,
W:The summer's gone, and all the roses falling,
W:It's you, it's you must go and I must bide.
W:But come ye back when summer's in the meadow,
W:Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow,
W:It's I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow,
W:Oh, Danny Boy, oh Danny Boy, I love you so!
W:
W:But when ye come, and all the flowers are dying,
W:If I am dead, as dead I well may be,
W:Ye'll come and find the place where I am lying,
W:And kneel and say an Ave there for me;
W:And I shall hear, though soft you tread above me,
W:And all my grave will warmer, sweeter be,
W:For you will bend and tell me that you love me,
W:And I shall sleep in peace until you come to me!
W:
W:Frederic Weatherly (1848 - 1929)
