Oh Danny boy

"Danny Boy"

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 flowers dying,
'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 there
In sunshine or in shadow,
Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy
I love you so.

But if ye come
When all the flowers 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,
Tho' soft you tread above me,
And all my dreams
Will warm and sweeter be,
If you'll not fail
To tell me that you love me,
I simply sleep in peace
Until you come to me.
