DANNY BOY
(Edward Weatherly)

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 dying
’tis you, ’tis you must go and I must bye

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

But when ye come and all the flowers are dying
If I am dead, as dead I well may be
He’ll come and find the place where I am lying
And kneel and say an aye there for me

And I shall heal, oh soft you tread above me
And though 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
