Danny Boy
Children's Song Lyrics and Sound Clip
Michael Mitchell

Oh Danny Boy, the pipes
The pipes are calling
From glen to glen
And down the mountainside
The summer's gone
And all the leaves are falling
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

But come ye back
When all the flowers are dying
If 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 you
Softly tread above me
And oh my grave
Shall warmer, sweeter be
If you will kneel
And tell me that you love me
Then I shall sleep in peace
Until you come to me
