Oh, Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are ca-all-ing

4 5 -5 6 -6 6 5 4 5 -4


From glen to glen, and down the mountain side

-3 4 -4 5 -4 5 -6 6 5 -4 4 -3//


The summer's gone, and all the roses fa-a-lling

4 4 -4 5 -5 5 -4 4 -4 4


It's you, it's you must go and I must bide
 

6 -6 -7 7 -7 -7 -6 6 -6 6 5 4

But come ye back when summer's in the me-ea-dow

6 -6 -7 7 -7 -7 -6 6 5 -4

Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow

6 6 6 8 -8 -8 7 -6 7 6 5 4

It's I'll be here in sunshine or in sha-a-dow

-3 4 -4 5 -6 6 5 -4 4 -3// -3 4


Oh, Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so.

But when ye come, and all the flowers are dying


If 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, 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.
