The time
A time of stress
The place
The place is lreland
As lrish legend had it
When the last rose
of summer fell
And all the young men
of lreland were to gather
to strike a blow for
lreland's freedom
And lreland's liberty
There were songs
for those who stayed at home
And songs for those
who went away
Oh Danny boy
The pipes
The pipes are callin'
From glen to glen
And down the mountainside
The sun is 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
It's I'll be here in sunshine
or in shadows
Oh Danny boy
Oh Danny boy I miss you so
But if you fall
As all the flowers are dyin'
And you are dead
As dead you well may be
I'll come and find the place
where you are lyin'
And kneel and say
an avé there for thee
But come ye back
when summer's in the meadow
Or when the valley's hushed
And white with snow
It's I'll be here in sunshine
or in shadows
Oh Danny boy
Oh Danny boy I love you so
