Danny came over to old New York
From Bandon town in the county Cork
He got a room on the avenue in Woodside Queens
And a job off the books doin` demolition
He was kind of different than everyone else
Oh he liked to hang out all by himself
Didn`t hit those bars in Sunnyside Queens
Went straight into the Village to check out the scene
One day on the job the foreman said
`Hey Danny Boy we think you`re a fag
With your ponytail and that ring in your ear
Hey, we don`t need no homos foulin` up the air`
Danny just smiled and picked up a 2 by 4
And he split that jerk from his jaw to his ear
Said `you can stick your job where the sun don`t shine
But you`re never gonna stop me bein` what I am, boy!`
Then he met a man down in Sheridan Square
They moved in together for a couple of years
Said it was the happiest he`d ever been
Doin` what he wanted and livin` his dream
We used to drink together down on Avenue B
One gray dawn he confessed to me
`Love`s the only thing that makes the world go round
And I`m never gonna see another sunset over sweet Bandon town`
Last time I saw Dan he was in a hospital bed
Two tubes hangin` out the nose of his head
But he smiled at me with them stone blue eyes
And he said, `hey, how you doin`, guy?
I`m history `round here in a couple of weeks
But I did what I wanted - I got no regrets
So, when you think of me crack a beer and smile
Hey, life`s a bitch and then you die`
Oh Danny Boy, the pipes, the pipes are callin`
From glen to glen, and down the mountainside
The summer`s gone and all the flowers are dyin`
`Tis you, `tis you, must go and I must bide
But come you back when summer`s in the meadow
Or when the valley`s hushed and white with snow
`Tis I`ll be there in sunshine or in shadow
Oh Danny Boy, Oh Danny Boy, I love you so
I love you so, Danny Boy, I love you so Send " Danny Boy" Ringtone to your Cell
