New Coon Creek Girls – Our Point of View
Oh Danny boy the pipes the pipes are calling
From glen to glen and down the mountainside
The summers gone and all the flowers are dying
‘Tis you, ‘tis you, must go and I must bide
But come ye back when summers in the meadow
Oh when the valleys hushed and white with snow
‘Tis I’ll be there in sunshine or in shadow
Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so
Arrangement
Mando turnaround verse
Fiddle chorus
And if you come when all the flowers are dying
And I am dead, as dead, I well may be
You’ll come and find the place where I am lying
And kneel and say and I’ll be there for thee
And I shall hear those soft you tell about me
And all my dreams will wonder sweeter be
If you will bend and tell me that you love me
Then I shall sleep in peace until you come to me
Then I shall sleep in peace until you come to me
