Danny Boy

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 dying
 'Tis you, '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 here in sunshine or in shadow
 Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so.
 And if you come, when 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, tho' soft you tread above me
 And all my dreams will warm and sweeter be
 If you'll not fail to tell me that you love me
 I'll simply sleep in peace until you come to me.
 I'll simply sleep in peace until you come to me.
