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 flowers are dying
  '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
    And if you come, when all the flowers are dying
  And 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, tho' soft you tread above me
  And all my dreams will warm and sweeter be
  If you'll not fail to tell me that you love me
  I'll simply sleep in peace until you come to me
    I'll simply sleep in peace until you come to me
