Irish love song Frederick Weatherly (1913 publ.) Rory Dhall O'Cahan (ca. 1600): Londonderry Air Londonderry_Air Mjchael
The lyrics to "Danny Boy" were written by the English lawyer and lyricist Frederick Weatherly in 1910. Although the lyrics were originally written for a different tune, Weatherly modified them to fit "Londonderry Air" in 1913 when his sister-in-law in America sent him a copy.

Da Danny Boy i.d.R. sehr langsam vorgetragen wird, besteht relativ viel Spielraum zum Arrangieren der Begleitakkorde. Hier werden nur die wesentlichen verwendet, die natürlich sehr effektvoll durch melodieangepasste Zwischenakkorde ergänzt werden können.

1st Verse
Oh Danny DBoy, the D7pipes, the pipes are Gcalling
From glen to Dglen, and down the mountain Aside
The summer's Dgone, and D7all the roses Gfalling
'Tis you, 'tis Dyou must Ago and I must Dbide
But come ye Dback when Gsummer's in the Dmeadow
Or when the Bmvalley's Ghushed and white with Asnow
'Tis I'll be Dhere in Gsunshine or in Dshadow Bm
Oh Danny DBoy, oh Danny ABoy, I love you Dso
2nd Verse
And when you Dcome, and D7all the flowers are Gdying
If I am Ddead, as dead I well may Abe
You'll come and Dfind the D7place where I am Glying
And kneel and Dsay an A"Ave" there for Dme
And I shall Dhear, tho' Gsoft you tread a-Dbove me
And all my Bmgrave will Gwarmer, sweeter Abe
For you will Dbend and to Gtell me that you Dlove me Bm
And I shall Dsleep in peace un-Atil you come to Dme
