Roy Orbison - Danny Boy 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 roses dying
'Tis you, 'tis you must go and I must bye
But come ye back when summer's in the meadow
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow
And I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow
Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy I love you so

But if he come and all the roses dying
And I am dead, as dead I well may be
He'll come here and find the place where I am lying
And kneel and say an ava there for me

And I shall feel, oh soft you tread above me
And then my grave will richer, sweeter be
For you will bend and tell me that you love me
And I shall rest in peace until you come to me

    OMG! The chills I get from this man's voice are almost unending

  18. 2.... ....

    Roy Orbison, a taste that has grown on me as I have aged. I appreciate his voice and style many times more now than I did as a youth. This rendition of the classic is fantastic. One of the criteria all the talent shows look for is whether or not a contestant can "make a song there own". Well, Roy made this song his own. It's different, and that's what makes it so memorable. His voice is perfect for this song and he performs it masterfully.

  19. B.... B....

    Fullerbrush...give yourself an UPPERCUT you wanker  !!!!!

  44. S.... D....

    Some said that Elvis said Roy Orbinson was the greatest singer he had ever heard I heard Elvis said this in a interview that it had nothing to do with their friendship but Jackie Wilson was the greatest singer he had ever heard ?? ok now Elvis which one is it Roy or Jackie ? well I believe Elvis wasn't being quite honest when had made both statements //image Elvis taking a rest by the pool at his house laying in a lounge chair with his sunglasses😎on & 🚬& yes drinking 🍺or 2 -or it could had been some thing else he was drinking ?? & listening to some of the songs he had sung & Elvis ☺ smiling all the time dancing to the music songs that he had recorded &. believe Elvis was doing a real- Jail House 🎸 Rock & after 1 more hit of peach brandy he
    realize that he was All Shook Up 😉he went into the house to his bedroom looked into the mirror took a comb & brush ,slicked back his hair & said to him self Elvis my man Roy Orbinson & Jackie Wilson ARE NOT the greatest singers I have ever heard its I *Elvis Aaron Presley* is the greatest singer I ( he ) has ever heard 😉& then he bow & said what he usally saids after each perfomance and that was : *THANK 🎸 YOU 🎤VERY MUCH * & yes I would most certainly say that .. Elvis 🌟 Presley was one of the greatest entertainers that ever live 👏 & 👏 🎤🎶🎵🎶🎼😘

  45. t.... g....

    the best I have ever heard and I was born in Belfast

  46. D.... B....

    If Roy had been handsome he'd have been more famous than Elvis. Just my opinion.

  47. D.... S....

    What album includes this song

  48. P.... 1....

    Elvis was right when in an interview he was asked how does it feel to be the World's best singer?
    He said he didn't know ,you better go ask Roy Orbison.

  49. P.... 1....

    Unreal!
    So Godly.

  74. s.... ....

    with all these old posts, and, here I am writing mine.. I had read on other versions of Danny Boy, that Roy Orbison's was " the best" certainly very powerful voice.. the " extra" verses are they part of the song to begin with, and they just get left out when singing it, or did he write them? curious to know ..

  75. D.... G....

    RIP Sen. John McCain- the last of a breed

  76. s.... ....

    came here on the comment on an" original" version of Danny Boy, I am simply blown away what a voice!!

  77. P.... A....

    Best artist ever and could sing in 4 octaves try that if you can !

  78. A.... W....

    The burdens he had, wife dies in motorcycle accident. Two boys killed in a fire.

  87. S.... C....

    One of the most touching and hauntingly beautiful songs ever penned, matched with one of the greatest voices ever possessed of mortal man. There simply aren't enough superlatives!

  92. G.... F....

    Make sure you listen to the late Jackie Wilson's version

  93. D.... G....
