** during her concert in hamilton, on, chantal performed this old irish tune in honor of st. patricks day. these are the traditional lyrics to the song, and are not accurate to chantals version. **
Oh danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen, and down the mountain side
The summers gone, and all the flowers are dying
tis you, tis you must go and I must bide
But come ye back when summers in the meadow
Or when the valleys hushed and white with snow
tis Ill be here in sunshine or in shadow
Oh danny boy, oh danny boy, I love you so
And if you come, when all the flowers are dying
And I am dead, as dead I well may be
Youll come and find the place where I am lying
And kneel and say an ave there for me
And I shall hear, tho soft you tread above me
And all my dreams will warm and sweeter be
If youll not fail to tell me that you love me
Ill simply sleep in peace until you come to me
Ill simply sleep in peace until you come to me
