1
Danny came over to old New York
2
From Bandon town in the county Cork
3
He got a room on the avenue in Woodside Queens
4
And a job off the books doin' demolition
5
He was kind of different than everyone else
6
Oh he liked to hang out all by himself
7
Didn't hit those bars in Sunnyside Queens
8
Went straight into the Village to check out the scene
9
One day on the job the foreman said
10
"Hey Danny Boy we think you're a fag
11
With your ponytail and that ring in your ear
12
Hey, we don't need no homos foulin' up the air"
13
Danny just smiled and picked up a 2 by 4
14
And he split that jerk from his jaw to his ear
15
Said "you can stick your job where the sun don't shine
16
But you're never gonna stop me bein' what I am, boy!"
17
Then he met a man down in Sheridan Square
18
They moved in together for a couple of years
19
Said it was the happiest he'd ever been
20
Doin' what he wanted and livin' his dream
21
We used to drink together down on Avenue be
22
One gray dawn he confessed to me
23
"Love's the only thing that makes the world go round
24
And I'm never gonna see another sunset over sweet Bandon town"
25
Last time I saw Dan he was in a hospital bed
26
Two tubes hangin' out the nose of his head
27
But he smiled at me with them stone blue eyes
28
And he said, "hey, how you doin', guy?
29
I'm history 'round here in a couple of weeks
30
But I did what I wanted - I got no regrets
31
So, when you think of me crack a beer and smile
32
Hey, life's a bitch and then you die"
33
Oh Danny Boy, the pipes, the pipes are callin'
34
From glen to glen, and down the mountainside
35
The summer's gone and all the flowers are dyin'
36
'Tis you, 'tis you, must go and I must bide
37
But come you back when summer's in the meadow
38
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow
39
'Tis I'll be there in sunshine or in shadow
40
Oh Danny Boy, Oh Danny Boy, I love you so I love you so,
41
Danny Boy, I love you so
