Danny Boy
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 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,
It's I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow,
Oh, Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so
But when ye 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, though soft you tread above me,
And all my grave will warmer, sweeter be,
For you will bend and tell me that you love me,
And I shall sleep in peace until you come to me

My son Danny O'Connor (my Danny Boy) died at age 19 years old 7 years ago, and every St. Patrick's day I like to find a different Danny Boy song each year to post on my FB this day.....and truly this has touched my heart more than others...thank you for your gift!

Thank you for recording this. It's so hard to find Scots versions, as most are Irish. My Grandmother was from Balloch and always sung this to us as kids. After she had a stroke she was bed ridden for three years and couldn't speak. But i would whisper the first line in her ear and she could sing the whole song right through. She died in 1994. Now it's 2022 and I'm looking after Mum who has late stage Alzheimer's. I've driven her up to Scotland and Loch Lomond three times in the last 12 months, and it's such a very special place. Playing this song to Mum, and seeing her sing along brings tears to my eyes. Chokes me up. Thank you for your beautiful rendition.

Actually, the origin of this song is from Ulster and it is an air of the Ulster-Scots (In America, they are known as the Scotch-Irish) tradition there.

My God. What a beautiful dedication to and for your father. I pray he found it worth the wait. You never cease to amaze your fans. I am once again in awe at your performance.

Thank You Ella, this was my fathers favorite song. He has been gone since 1984 but you have brought some sweet memories of him. Thank You!
