W:O Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
W:From glen to glen and down the mountainside
W:The summer's gone and all the roses falling
W:'Tis you, 'tis you must go and I must bide
W:But come ye back when summer's in the meadow
W:Or all the valley's hushed and white with snow
W:'Tis I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow
W:O Danny boy, O Danny boy, I love you so
W:
W:2
W:When winter's come and all the flowers are dying
W:And I am dead, as dead I well may be
W:You'll come and find the place where I am lying
W:And kneel and say an "Ave" there for me
W:But I shall hear though soft you tread above me
W:And all my grave shall warmer, sweeter be
W:And you will bend and tell me that you love me
W:And I shall sleep in peace until you come to me
W:
W:3
W:O Danny boy, the stream flows cool and slowly
W:And pipes still call and echo 'cross the glen
W:Your broken mother sighs and feels so lowly
W:For you have not returned to smile again
W:So if you've died and crossed the stream before us
W:We pray that angels met you on the shore
W:And you'll look down, and gently you'll implore us
W:To live so we may see your smiling face once more
W:Once more
