The whole song goes:

The pipes, the pipes are calling.

From glen to glen,

And down the mountain side.

The summer's gone,

And all the leaves are falling.

'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.

Danny boy, oh Danny boy,

I love you so.

And when he comes,

And all the flowers are dying.

If I am dead,

As dead, I well may be.

He comes and finds the place,

I am lying.

And kneel and say,

an "Ave" there for me.

And I shall hear thou softly tread,

above me.

And all my dreams,

Will warm and sweeter be.

If you'll not fail to tell me,

That you love me.

I'll simply sleep in peace,

Until you come to me.

I'll simply sleep in peace,

Until you come to me.

Answer 3

Danny Boy is about Irish Political Freedom. Any lyrics you find on the internet will NOT include the last verse. Sinead O Connor sings every verse on a you tube video...that's the only site on the internet you will hear the last verse included. My mother sang Oh Danny Boy many times to us as we grew up and she always sang the last verse too...

But if I live and you do die for Ireland, let not your dying thoughts be just of me, but say a prayer to god for our dear Ireland, I know she'll hear and help to her free.
