Oh, Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling From glen to glen and down the mountainside The summer's gone and all the leaves are falling 'Tis you must leave, 'tis you must leave and I must bide But come you back when summer's in the meadow And when the valley's hushed and white with snow 'Tis I'll be there in sunshine or in shadow Oh, Danny boy, oh, Danny boy, I love you so And if you come when all the leaves are dying If I am dead as dead I may well be You'll come and find the place where I am lying And kneel and say an "Ave" there for me And I will hear tho' soft you tread above me And all my grave will warmer, sweeter be If you will bend and tell me that you love me Then I will sleep in peace until you come to me
