Standard (EADGBE)

 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 falling

  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 there in sunshine or in shadow

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

 But if you come, and all the flowers are dying

 If I am dead, as dead I may well 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 shall warm and sweeter be

 If you will bend and tell me that you love me

 I’ll sleep in peace until you come to me
