Cassidy, Eva - Danny Boy Lyrics






Oh Danny Boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling.
From Glenn to Glenn and down the mountain side.
The summer's gone, and all the flowers are dying.
'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 there in Sunshine or in Shadow
Oh Danny Boy, oh Danny Boy, I love you so.

But if you come, when all the roses are dying
And I am dead, as dead I well may be.
Go out and find the place where I am lying.
And kneel and say an "Ave" for me.

And I shall hear, tho' soft you tread above me
And all my dreams will warm and sweeter be.
Then you shall bend and tell me that you love me
I'll will sleep in peace until you come to me.

  26. J.... C....

    Almost shocking!

  27. S.... T....

    Knowing what happened to her makes this song so much more heartbreaking and poignant than ever. Rest in peace Eva and thank you for sharing your sweet,sweet sound with us.

  28. J.... M....

    Being Irish you don't have any idea how many times Iv'e heard this Irish song at Funerals.

  29. B.... B....

    Danny Boy ILove You You So!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  30. g.... s....

    Phenomenal reading from one of the purest voices I have heard.

  31. K.... W....

    do i really understand beauty or sadness ?
    i think i can feel the both from this great voice ..

  32. M.... T....

    I’m real particular about this song. I don’t like hearing a lot of embellishments or complex rhythms or whatevs you call it... but her version doesn’t even make me care about that stuff. Her voice just floats down the valley perfect. What a wonderful singer.

  33. T.... L....

    Poignant. It's beyond that, give her tragically short life. It's difficult to imagine a finer voice and a sweeter more heartfelt rendition of this song.

  34. S.... C....

    She is just effortless and inspiring and emotional and powerful and i could go on and on.....🧙🧙🧙🧙

  35. M.... B....

    This is what an Angel sounds like . I am sure that Eva is singing with God’s Angels 👼 . God bless you for the great 👍 Songs you have given to this crazy world we are living in . I cannot hold my tears on any one of your great SONGS . GOD BLESS YOU EVA 💕❤️💕👍🇺🇾

    P.... E....

    Irish classic? the song was written by English lawyer Fredrick Weatherly on the death of his son in 1910, nothing Irish about it.

    But come ye back when summer's in the meadow
    Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow

    The most unique voice of all time! 💙💟💟

  73. L.... C....

    Eva Cassidy is the greatest singer of the 20th century. And this is the best version of this song ever sung. May you RIP, beautiful Eva. You are greatly missed.

  74. �.... C....

    I need this song in the background when Steve and Tony hug in endgame

  75. J.... L....

    Makes me cry. Beautiful.

    Paz y bendiciones, amigos del mundo. 🌈☕👒🎶🌺🌻☘️🎇🙏 9/04/2019.

  77. L.... D....

    I didn't hear Ms. Cassidy sing in person, but I saw the Nigthline program on her remarkable, but brief life. She was truly gifted and even though we were robbed of her talent, I am glad she recorded memorable work like this as an eternal testimony of her presence on this earth and her abilities. Erin go bragh.

  78. m.... b....

    Love this song played at my dads funeral last month rest in peace dad you are missed.

  79. S.... K....

    Beautiful voice that sinks my heart !!

  80. m.... m....

    Don’t like to categorize over art but really this must be the ultimate rendition of this song. As someone here wrote in the comments the voice of this quality comes to this world once in a century. Seldom as it is we all should thank God it does.

  81. K.... W....

    Feeling a bit slow and maybe exaggerated, but today again I hear one of the best and saddest tone from Eva.. from korea ..

  82. J.... G....

    Oh my God 😭😭😭💔💔💔

  83. t.... g....

    born in Belfast 1944

  84. G.... F....

    In memory to my Jack 💚🍀

  85. k.... ....

    I had a cousin named Danny and he died in a car accident, and this song was played at his funeral. The words are so haunting, especially the end, when she can hear him softly upon her grave and he tells her he loves her and she can rest in peace. Is it his mother or his sweetheart? What do you think?

    k.... ....

    I also heard another theory, that it was his father who had already lost 2 sons to war, and now must let his danny boy go perhaps to never see him again.

  86. d.... o....

    I know people who are unmoved by music; I feel the deepest pity for them. It would be as if one were unable to taste the fare at a sumptious banquet. Eva is of course a vocalist of unsurpassed excellence. Her vocal control, her use of vocal dynamics, tone, range, power....she had it ALL. What a perfectly magnificent vocal instrument she possessed. A voice that appears once a generation if we're lucky. And dead at 34. Only the good die young..........and the geniuses in the record industry? Shamlessly dropped the ball on Eva. They couldn't 'categorize' her...so they never offered her a contract. Clever, no?

  87. j.... ....

    My heart was beaten. The picture of the record jacket is also beautiful.

    my daughter sang this song for her grandmas passing..have now idea how she did it..

    Sad story about Eva Cassidy. Go to: ' 'The Eva Cassidy Story on ABC Nightline'

  95. B.... ....

    Beautiful

  96. D.... A....

    I too am discovering Eva Cassidy for the first time and we have truly lost a beautiful voice and soul. Her rendition of Danny Boy will be played at my funeral (hopefully years from now) along with Judy Garlands "Somewhere over the rainbow" which I discovered Ms. Cassidy recorded a beautiful rendition of. She sings "Danny Boy" from the heart as if she knew her time on earth would be short. God Bless!

  97. K.... P....

    No way is this a human singing... she's a Angel who visited earth for a short time and then decided to return to her True home .....Heaven .

  98. C.... R....

    Being Welsh I can conected to this xc
