DANNY BOY
(Galleon - Traditional)

1.
O 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 fight.

But come you back when Summer's in the meadow,
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow,
And I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow,
O Danny boy I love you so.

2.
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 will feel those soft you tread above me,
And o'er my grave warm and sweeter be,
And you will kneel and tell me that you love me,
And I will sleep in peace until you come to me.

But come you back when Summer's in the meadow,
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow,
And I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow,
O Danny boy I love you so.
