Danny Boy (Traditional)
from Reuben Walton Hosted by Reuben Walton
Many people know this traditional folk song from military funerals, ceremonies, Irish culture, etc. While I am in fact not Irish (but do have some Scottish in me, I think), I of course recognize why this and folk songs in general have such longevity. I was inspired to put my stamp on this classic after hearing Sinéad O'Connor's stark and moving a capella rendition from the Late Late Show on YouTube. I'm accompanying myself on my Taylor 214ce electric acoustic guitar. Lyrics: 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 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 And I'll be there in sunshine or in shadow Oh Danny boy, oh Danny Boy I love you so And when you come and all the flowers are dying If I am dead, as dead I may well be You'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 your tread above me And all my grave will warmer sweeter be And you will bend and tell me that you love me Then I will sleep in peace until you come to me Vocals by Reuben Walton Vocal production by Reuben Walton Lyrics by Frederick Weatherly Guitar by Reuben Walton String Arrangement by Reuben Walton Produced by Reuben Walton Edited by Reuben Walton Mixed by Reuben Walton
