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 falling
It's you it's 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
I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow
I'll be here oh Danny boy I miss you so
But if you come and all the flowers are falling
And if I am dead as dead I well may be
I'll come and find the place where you're lying
And kneel and say an Ave there for me
But come ye back when summer's in the meadow
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow
I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow
Oh Danny boy oh Danny boy I love you so
