    Hard copy of this limited run CD. These tracks were hastily and lovingly recorded mixed and mastered by Leslie Rich and Pete Boulger. The intention was always to take a little more time to review the mixes again and have it professionally mastered and duplicated once this run is sold out.
    We're proud of what we accomplished in the incredible short (Two weeks!) timeframe.

about

Most certainly an Irish standard. There are a ton of versions - and most can be cringeworthy, but taken without the history of hundreds of awful, drunken and misguided versions, this is a beautiful song.

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 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
It's I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow
Oh, Danny boy, oh, Danny boy, I love you so

But when ye come and all the flowers are dying
If I am dead and dead I well may be
You'll come and find the place where I am lying
And kneel and say an 'Ave' there for me

And I shall hear tho' soft you tread above me
And all my grave will warmer, sweeter be
For you will bend and tell me that you love me
And I shall sleep in peace until you come to me
