Danny Boy Lyrics - The Wonderful World Of Sam Cooke - Sam Cooke

Ah Danny boy, the pipes, 

the pipes are calling 

From glen to glen, 

and down the mountain side 

The summer's gone, 

and all the flowers are 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 

And I'll be here 

in sunshine or in shadow 

Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, 

I love you so

But if you come, 

and all the flowers are falling 

And 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 will hear, 

though soft your tread above me 

And o'er my grave 

will warmer sweeter be 

And you will bend 

and tell me that you love me 

And I will sleep 

in peace until you come to me 

Photos 

But if I live 

and should you die for Ireland 

Let not your dying thoughts 

be just of me 

But say a prayer to God 

for our dearest Island 

I know He'll hear 

and help to set her free 

And I will take your pike 

and place my dearest 

And strike a blow, 

though weak the blow may be 

Twill help the cause 

to which your heart was nearest 

Oh Danny Boy, Oh, Danny boy 

I love you so.
