What are the lyrics to Danny Boy?

Oh, Danny Boy, the Pipes, the Pipes

Are calling

From glen to glen

And down the mountainside

The summer's gone, and all the flow'rs are dying

'Tis you, 'tis 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

'Tis I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow

Oh Danny Boy, oh Danny Boy, I love you so

But when ye come, and all the flow'rs 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, tho' 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
