They said nice things

About you in the paper today

But that doesn't take away

The look on your wife's face

Oh, Danny Boy, oh, Danny Boy

A thousand pipes

Are calling you

Home, home, home

Fallen heroes

Are only rising angels

But I prayed

We'd never have to see the day

Where you wouldn't see another day

The mailbox holds the letter

That tells me of you

Ten thousand tear drops

Just won't fill your shoes

Oh, Danny Boy, oh Danny Boy

Oh, Danny Boy, oh Danny Boy

A thousand pipes

Are calling you

Home, home, home

Fallen heroes

Are only rising angels

But I prayed

We'd never have to see the day

Where you wouldn't see another day

Where you wouldn't see another day

Where you wouldn't see another day

They said nice things

About you in the paper today

But that doesn't take away

The look on your wife's face
