Danny Boy

I enjoy this song so much, I would have named my second son after it.  That was the deal, if Michelle had been a boy, I'd have been given the privilege of naming him.  As it turned out Michelle was a girl and Taryn got to name her and the world was spared another Daniel Boon.

Oh Danny Boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
   From glen to glen, and down the mountain side
   The summer's gone, and all the roses falling
   '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 here in sunshine or in shadow
   Oh Danny Boy, oh Danny Boy, I love you so
And when ye come, and all the flowers are dying
   And 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 shall bend and tell me that you love me
   And I shall sleep in peace until you come to me

Here are three gifted singers who have all kissed the Blarney Stone, singing Danny Boy.
