Danny Boy (2)

words by Fred E. Weatherly

4/4 time – moderately, don’t let it drag.

6 -6 7 7 -7 -7 -6 6 -6 6 5 4
Oh, Danny-boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling–

6 -6 -7 7 -6 6 5 4 5 -4
from glen to glen and down the mountainside.–

-3 4 -4 5 -4 5 -6 6 5 -4 4 -3
The summer’s gone, and all the roses falling,–

-3 4 -4 5 -6 6 5 4 -4 4
It’s you, it’s you must go and I must bide.–

6 -6 -7 7 -7 -7 6 6 -6 6 5 4
But come ye back when summer’s in the meadow,–

6 -6 -7 7 -7 -6 6 4 5 -4
Or when the valley’s hushed and white with snow.–

6 6 6 8 -8 -8 7 -6 7 6 5 4
It’s I’ll be here in sunshine or in shadow.–

-3 4 -4 5 -6 6 5 -4 4 -3 -4 (45)
Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so.–

Repeat from, But come ye back

4 -5 -6 (67)
ending with: I love you so!

***On the endings, the indicated numbers in
parentheses are blows, blown together at the
same time.
