Lyrics
Oh, Dan ny boy,
the pipes, the pipes are call ing,
From glen to glen
And down the moun side.
The sum mer's gone
and all the flow’rs are dy ing,
’Tis you, ’tis you
must go and I must bide.
But come ye back
when sum mer’s in the mea dow
Or when the val
ley’s hushed and white with snow
’Tis I’ll be there
in sun light or in shad ow,
Oh, Dan ny boy, oh, Dan ny boy I love you so.
