Irish Music – Danny Boy lyrics
Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen, and o'er the mountain side
The summer's gone, and all the flowers 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 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, tho' soft you tread above me
And all my grave will warm and sweeter be
For you will bend and tell me that you love me
And I shall sleep in peace until you come to me.

    We raise or children, they grow up and go to war & come back for us to bury them and given a folded flag that will never fly for America again that is what the song Danny Boy symbolizes to me, out lived ones killed in wars, I pray someday Wars will stop and parents will no longer loose their children to a fruitless war.
