Lyrics

Oh, Dan ny Boy,

the pipes, the pipes are call

ing,

from glen to glen

and down the moun tain side.

The sum mer’s gone

and all the ros es fall

ing;

’tis you, ’tis you

must go and I must bide.

But come ye back

when sum mer’s in the mead

ow,

or when the val

ley’s hushed and white with snow.

’Tis I’ll be there

in sun shine or in shad

ow.

Oh, Dan ny Boy, oh Dan ny Boy, I love you so.

And when ye come

and all the flow’rs are dy

ing,

if I am dead,

as dead I well may be,

you’ll come and find

the place where I am ly

ing,

and kneel and say

an A ve there for me.

And I shall hear,

though soft you tread a bove

me,

and all my grave

will warm er, sweet er be;

if you will bend

and tell me that you love

me,

then I shall sleep in peace un til you come to so.

And when ye me.
