Danny Boy - as performed by Shane MacGowan and The Popes

		 			
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 must go, '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
Then I will sleep in peace until you come to me
