Danny Boy
Johnny Cash Lyrics


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 fallin'
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
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 dying
And 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 will know, though soft ye tread above me
And then my grave will richer, sweeter be
And you'll bend down and tell me that you love me
And I will rest in peace until you come to me

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 fallin'
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
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 dying
And 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 will know, though soft ye tread above me
And then my grave will richer, sweeter be
And you'll bend down and tell me that you love me
And I will rest in peace until you come to me



Guitarra Al Palo

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.
And 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 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 tho' my grave will warm and sweeter be.
For you will bend and tell me that you love me,
And I shall sleep in peace until you come to me.



Wagner Silva Gomes

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 flowers dying
'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
'Tis 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 roses falling
And I am dead as dead I well may be
Go out and find the place where I am lying
And kneel and say an ave there for me

And I will hear tho' soft you tread above me
And then my grave will warm and sweeter be
For you shall bend and tell me that you love me
And I will sleep in peace until you come to me

This voice is the voice of a man who has nothing to prove anymore. He nails the meaning of this song like hardly another artist ever did.

Michelle Everett

Okay. I hope the OP as saying this man made an amazing body of work in spite of, or because of his impending death.

eumey

@Alex Stoll ok?

Alex Stoll

It's also the voice of a man who'd had a stroke

Hayley

'Hurt' another that cuts deep

moritz -4

The Pogues also have a great version though

Johnny Cash, making the most hardened men shed a tear since 1954.

Joseph Hebert Yeah... I have a long way to go until that day. You’re a man too so you understand what I mean.

Listened to this song after my grandpa died. It's been 10 years by now and I still miss him and grandma so much, since I grew up with them and they both took most of the parental role for me. one of the very few songs, that brings tears to my eyes, when listening to it.

Patrick McDonagh

You don't need to be Irish to appreciate this song from an old icon
