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.
It's you, it's you, it's 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,
Yes, I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow,
Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so.

But when you 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 breath shall be warm and sweeter be
For you will bend and tell me that you love me
And I will sleep in peace until you come for me.

I'll pipe it for him tonight at sunset.

Edited: Here's a link with an MP3 of two pipers playing Danny Boy. It's about half way down.

Danny Boy

Like the impression of a hand in a glass of water, so is life. Once removed, there is very soon no trace that the hand was ever there. Yet by publishing a book on his chosen field, he will live on for many years to come and his soul will stir each time some future collector opens it.

He helped me with a colonial that I bought last year...a real decent guy.

I am sorry to say I never had the pleasure of knowing him.
Molann an obair an fear " the work praises the man" and let it be known his spirit lives on in the hearts of all that love this hobby.
