For CJ of Tipperary

Listen to the best arrangement to Danny Boy you’ll ever hear. Pay attention the lyrics.

Oh Danny Boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen, and down the mountainside
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
For I’ll be here in sunshine or in shadow.
Oh Danny Boy, oh Danny Boy, I love you so.
And when ye come, and all the flowers are dying
And I am dead, as dead I well may be
Ye’ll come and find the place where I am lying
And kneel and say an ‘Ave‘ there for me.
And I shall hear, though soft you tread above me,
And o’er my grave shall warmer, sweeter be.
And if you bend and tell me that you love me.
Then I shall sleep in peace until you come to me.
