Lyrics:
O Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen and down the mountainside
The summer's gone and all the roses falling
It's you, it's 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
It's I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow
O Danny boy, O Danny boy, I love you so.
But when ye come and all the flowers are dying
If I am dead, as dead I well may be
Ye'll come and find the place where I am lying
And kneel and say an "Ave" there for me.
And I shall hear though soft you tread above me
And all my grave shall warmer, sweeter be
For you will bend and tell me that you love me
And I shall sleep in peace until you come to me.

I wish to thank the Tabernacle Choir for sharing this awesome Irish music video with me .

The song is known in Ireland as The Derry Air, which means the Derry Tune. Derry being an Irish city and County. A lady visiting and staying overnight in lodgings heard a travelling bard (a fiddle player) play the tune outside her window on the street.. No words are known to have existed. She asked a song writer to put words to it. It's about a father seeing his son off to war. having lost one son already. Danny, Dan, Donal, Daniel and Donald are the same name. It can be a first or second name. If a surname, it is likely to be prefixed by O (of the clan) or Mac (son of). It connects back to the biblical book of Daniel. Meaning strong man blessed by God. In the prophecy it was said a strong man would emerge as a leader in the world about now. Watch out for him, it is said is name will be Daniel and the hand of God is upon him.

I had the privilege of seeing the Tabernacle choir rehearse on Temple Square last October for the first time . I closed my eyes to focus on the singing. To me it was most heavenly sound I had heard. 5 days before that I watched them sing 'Loves Divine, all Loves Excelling' at the end of the morning session of General Conference. It was that wonderful it brought me to tears.

I love this song it reminds me of my dad who passed away His name was Daniel and his family called him Danny Boy. I miss him so much and he would sing this song to us as children many times.😪😪

My little brother Danny died of meningitis aged 7 in 1945, my parents were poor Irish working class people. My mother had 10 children 6 died and only 4 of us survived to adulthood. But, both of my parents never got over the loss of this precious little boy. It brings me to tears every time I hear this song I never knew my brother but he has a place in all of our families hearts. We are now only 3 siblings left my darling older sister died on Easter Sunday from the coronavirus, she is so sadly missed by us all. But, I, pray to the almighty that one day soon we will all be reunited as a family in heaven if God so wills it. Amen Thank you kingdom choir for a beautiful rendition of this famous Irish ballad. The only time a ballad was written for a father to a dead son in Irish folklore.

Aloha to the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and everyone else responsible for this iconic song "Danny Boy." Let's do our best and ask God's protection for the whole world as we are living such troubled times~~~~Covid-19 pandemic killing millions of people all over the world, climate change affecting humans and all other living creatures too, hostility and waging wars among nations in the world, etc. In Jesus's name I humbly ask for your prayers and positive actions to promote more loving kindness and peace in this troubled planet !!!!!! Sincerely, Robert S.J. Hu September 30, 2020.

I think think if these beautiful hymns were played around the world, It would stop the corona virus, i would like to rise all these hymns to the altar of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

Sang this to my son 38 years ago . When he started to sing it ,he always puy a little extra into "I love you so". Irish you may not be by blood ,but this song gets to any person who has loved ones distant.
