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
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
And I shall rest in peace until you come to me

Roy Orbison Danny Boy Comments
I love Roy Orbison songs his voice is so nice.
a great song done by a man who could sing words we understand
No one can ever have a voice like he had. And his songs dealt with lives that dealt with everyones feelings of love for everyones relationships
roserun stay in my heart and soul until we get to the finish line
Beautiful! I am a Roy Orbison fan anyway.
👍🏻🥀🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
The Man with the Lonely Beautiful Voice.
No wonder he was Elvis' s favourite singer.
Beautiful rendition of Danny Boy! I'm a Roy Orbison fan anyway.
Just stunning from Roy.What a great voice.
wow.....what a voice this man had.....whoa....
The great Roy Orbison - the light of Heaven to him.
Roy's music will live on forever.
The man could definitely sing.
O.danny.boy.well.done.roy.tony.o.keeffe.r.i.p.
What a peace... so beautiful...
OMG! The chills I get from this man's voice are almost unending
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.
Fullerbrush...give yourself an UPPERCUT you wanker !!!!!
Beautiful rendition! ❤️❤️❤️
God bless the mighty O. ............... x
I only wish my immigrant Irish parents were still alive to hear this .
roy you made
this song your own
we miss you
Years ahead of his time one of the most fantastic voices ever
In the past an Irish Tenor owned this . No more .
One of the greatest singers always listen too Roy
My. UQa
Pp
Lost his wife in a motorcycle accident and two boys in a fire. Lived about five miles from me.
Alwey Wong did you meet him much ?
Orbison
so said
I used to laugh at this man because i was young and naive, then you grow up and realise.
The very best. His voice has me in floods. No one else can put so much meaning into a song. Bless you Roy.
Only the Lonely and Blue Angel made me cry when I was 15 and now I am 73 and still he makes me cry.
BEAUTIFUL VOICE !
Roy never met an octave that he couldn't climb to it's magnificent peak!
A version I could get behind!
The his voice in this rendition of Danny Boy is the very best I’ve ever heard. There are songs I love more by Roy but this is amazing. Roy is by far the best singer I will ever hear in my life time. So glad to have have lived in his time.
Ane of the best covers ever
This Texas boy could really belt em' out. Awesome voice. R.i.p. Roy
I never liked my name, until now...
that quiver🤩🤩
None I mean none better than Roy brilliant RIP Roy !
Roy Orbison and Linda Rondstat the two greatest voices of my generation and all time.
This man is absolutely incredible. I can listen to him all day long and many days I do. He left us all at such a young age. RIP my good man
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 👏 & 👏 🎤🎶🎵🎶🎼😘
the best I have ever heard and I was born in Belfast
If Roy had been handsome he'd have been more famous than Elvis. Just my opinion.
What album includes this song
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.
Unreal!
So Godly.
Maravilhosas e imortais baladas..!
Simply the best
What a voice!
His voice shakes my soul, His voice makes me wish I could go back and say the right thing the right way to my loved ones. Roy you give me so much to savor and give my heart a warmth that's been missing for so long.
Roy Orbison was een natuurtalent. Dit is ook weer zo'n pareltje van hem. Wat een mooie rustige stem.Zijn ballads zijn wonderschoon, prachtig en uniek.
The best rendition of this tune ever done
What can i say it’s beatiful
amazing man with amazing voice what a great rendition
Thanks Twinkle beautiful version.
Roy always gave his best
Wow, absolutely brilliant .
Beautiful, just beautiful. Voice, song, arrangement, just beautiful.
My mom called me Daniel only because of her love for this song. Now, I'm hearing one of my favourite singers of all time sing it. I miss you mom! love you, Danny boy
Elvis Costello once said Roy Orbison was the finest white singer ever ! It is true !
best version ive ever heard
I grow up with this man in my ears.....its sad how people now don't know what real music is.
Beauty voice. Wonderful songs. Giant Roy Orbison.
was ein toller mann!!!
Hope that Roy Orbinson Holograph show comes to Seattle soon.
i am forever indebted to this guy, for his existence & excellence.
Fuck the ads
one of the most difficult songs to sing bravo
Miss you Roy
Godly voice
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 ..
RIP Sen. John McCain- the last of a breed
came here on the comment on an" original" version of Danny Boy, I am simply blown away what a voice!!
Best artist ever and could sing in 4 octaves try that if you can !
The burdens he had, wife dies in motorcycle accident. Two boys killed in a fire.
Perfect as always RIP mister brilliance !
It's all been said, no equal simply the best RIP Roy.
The best voice of all time and such range and passion.

My father loved "Danny Boy". This brings tears to my eyes. I love you dad.
daddy I love you .!!
What a fantastic voice
Roy was amazing! I think this was overproduced - he didn't need it
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!
Is there anything roy can't sing absolutely brilliant beautiful boyond words thank you for this wonderful post
Great version
Gotta be the best version ever
The best version is up to the listener - We all have different tastes in music. All of them are none of my business. Enjoy this version.
Make sure you listen to the late Jackie Wilson's version
Great Version
If this does not make your heart turn against war, nothing will. Thank you Roy Orbison and laserbird28
No equal, best ever, RIP.
His head voice was just beautiful and free, very difficult to achieve without years of training and practice.
