Danny Boy Songtext
von John Gary

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 roses fallin'
It′s you, it's 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
Yet I′ll be here in sunshine or in shadow
Oh, Danny boy, oh, Danny boy, I love you so

But come ye back, and all the flowers are dying
If I am dead, as dead I well may be
Ye'll come and find the place where I am lying
And kneel and say an ave there for me

And I shall hear, though soft, you tread above me
And all my grave will warmer, sweeter be
For you will bend and tell me that you love me
And I shall sleep in peace until you come to me
