Danny Dear Songtext
von Hank Locklin

Danny was a handsome lad
Close on seventeen
And every girl he met was mad
To be Danny′s queen

Danny dear, oh Danny dear
Danny don't be cold
Now′s the time for loving dear
Not when we grow old

First came Kate and then came Sue
And after her came Jane
And each girl in her turn would sing
To Danny this refrain


Danny dear, oh Danny dear
Danny don't be cold
Now's the time for loving dear
Not when we grow old

But Danny was the roving kind
And he would not stay
In the arms of any girl
Even when she′d say

Danny dear, oh Danny dear
Danny don′t be cold
Now's the time for loving dear
Not when we grow old

Then one day he met a girl
As fair as any rose
And Danny′s roving days were done
For she made him propose


Eileen dear, oh Eileen dear
Eileen don't be cold
Now′s the time for loving dear
Not when we grow old
