Irish Tunes

DANNY BOY
Oh, Danny Boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen and down the mountainside
The Summer's gone and all the leaves are 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
for I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow
Oh Danny Boy, Oh Danny Boy.

WHEN IRISH EYES ARE SMILING
When Irish eyes are smiling
Sure, 'tis like a morn in Spring
In the lilt of Irish laughter
You can hear the angels sing.
When Irish hearts are happy
All the world seems bright and gay
but when Irish eyes are smiling
sure, 'twill steal your heart away!
