[Verse 1]
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 are falling
'Tis you, 'this you must go and I must bye

[Verse 2]
But come ye back when summer's in the meadow
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow
'Tis I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow
Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy I love you so

[Verse 3]
And when you come and all the roses are dying
If I am dead, as dead I well may be
You'll come here and find the place where I am lying
And kneel and say an "Ave" there for me

[Verse 4]
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
