Píseň: Danny Boy

Interpret:: Sam Cooke
Album:: Sam Cooke

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
