The words to the song Danny Boy were written by an Englishman, lawyer Frederic Edward Weatherly in 1910; he set the lyrics to an old Irish tune then called the Londonderry Airin 1912.

The tune is very old, but the version we hear most often today is the arrangement by Australian-born pianist and composer Percy Grainger, frequently together with Weatherly's words.
