(Traditional, arranged by Shane MacGowan)
|
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
|
'Tis you must go, '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 you come, and all the flowers are dying
|
If I am dead, as dead I may well 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 grave shall warm and sweeter be
|
If you will bend and tell me that you love me
|
Then I will sleep in peace until you come to me
|
