Danny Come Home (a Town Near Montreal) Lyrics - Nana Mouskouri

( Molly-Ann Leikin / Annette Tucker / Arthur Hamilton ) 

1- 

On a sunday morning 

In a town near Montreal 

A baby in a basket 

Cried outside the convent wall 

He had the eyes of the widow Johnson 

And the station master's chin 

And Sister St-Theresa heard him crying 

And she took my baby in

2- 

When the shame inside me died 

Then the mother in me cried 

And I go by the playground where I thought he' d be 

I' d smile at every little boy, so I could see 

If one of them was smiling back at me 

3- 

Danny come home,your mama' s heart is broken 

Danny come home, you' ve been away so long 

Don' t you know your mama keeps on hoping 

That someday you' ll find out where you belong 

Danny come home 

4- 

On a rainy morning 

In a town near Montreal 

A lonely boy of seven 

Climbed outside the convent wall 

The station master helped him 

Sneak aboard the ten-o-four and he was gone 

And no one's ever heard a word 

Or even seen the boy from that day on 

5- 

And I still cried myself to sleep 

About the child I couldn' t keep 

And I always pray that life is good to him 

It' s a story that will never have an end 

'cause what we gave away is never ours again 

Repeat 3 twice
