	Story Behind the Song The lyrics were written by an English lawyer named Frederic Edward Weatherly (1848-1929), who also wrote songs. The original music composed by him was not well received. He later was given the music for Londonderry Air and found that his lyrics were perfectly suited for it. 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 falling 'tis you, 'tis you must go and I must bide. But come ye back when summer's in the meadow Or all 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 flowers are dying If I am dead, as dead I well may be Then 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 on my grave shall warmer sweeter be If you will kneel and tell me that you love me Then I will sleep in peace until you come to me.
