Danny Boy
The Irish song to the Londonderry Air, for 2 to 4 singers: the soprano sings the melody, the alto moves beneath it, the bass holds the roots on "oo", and the tenor fills the chord. Slow and expressive, with a wide melody.

The first verse
Words: Frederic Weatherly (1913)Tune: Londonderry Air, Irish traditional (published by George Petrie, 1855)
Oh Danny boy the pipes, the pipes are callingFrom glen to glen, and down the mountain side.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,Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so!
