Traditional Celtic Ballad

Lyrics

Oh, Danny Boy
The pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen
And down the mountainside
The summer's gone and all the flowers are dying
It's you, it's you must go and I must bide

But come ye back when summer's in the meadow
And all the valley's hushed and white with snow
It's I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow
Oh, Danny Boy, oh, Danny Boy
I love you so

But if you come and all the flowers are 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 though soft you tread above me
And all my grave will warmer, sweeter be
For you will bend and tell me that you love me
And I shall sleep in peace
Until you come to me
