Danny Boy (from the album “Belafonte at Carnegie Hall”, 1959) Songtext
von Harry Belafonte

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'll miss you so

But if you fall, as all the flowers are dying
And you are dead, as dead you well maybe
I′ll come and fine the place where you are laying
And kneel and say an Ave there for thee

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
