Oh, Dan ny Boy,
the pipes, the pipes are call

from glen to glen
and down the moun tain side.
The sum mer’s gone
and all the ros es fall

’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

if I am dead,
as dead I well may be,
you’ll come and find
the place where I am ly

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.
