Oh Denny Boy

Oh Denny boy, our God, our God is calling
From day to day, God has been by your side
The winter’s gone, and our Trooper has fallen
'tis you, 'tis you must go and we must bide

And take Ye with your memory ever laughing
Every long story short, tis you took great pride
And though you leave behind your generosity
It's you, it's you, must go, and we must bide

But come ye back when summer's in the meadow
Or when we’ve too gained our Heavenly glow
And you'll be here in sunshine or in shadow
Oh Denny boy, oh Denny boy, we love you so.

And when we meet, all the flowers will be blooming
And you’re dead, as living dead well may be
We'll come and find the place where you are living
And at your grave say an "Ave" there for you.

And we shall hear, your daily blessings above us
And at your grave will Kelly greener be
For we will rise, and tell you that we love you

Oh Denny boy
Oh Denny boy
Oh Denny boy
Oh Denny boy

Denny boy
Denny boy

And you shall live with God until we come to you
