    Back during the early 1990's my grandfather (an old WW1 veteran) requested 'Danny Boy' be sung at his funeral. Every time I return to the UK I visit his grave and kneel, and tell him I still love him.
    Miss him loads.

Your voice is ethereal ... you are in a genre that touches the deepest part of us. Don't ever stop. I hope you release albums ... do movie soundtracks ... and give millions of people the gift of peace ... the kind of peace of "sitting in a cozy croft by a fire" like our ancestors did ... knowing we are all part of the bigger picture.

    I've listened to 25 or 30 versions of this song over the years, ranging from British to American to Canadian to Australian, from many singers both famous and not. But by far this is absolutely the best rendition ever sung on the planet. I cannot praise Ella Roberts enough, so I'll leave it at that.

  • @caribstu
    @caribstu 2 ปีที่แล้ว +117

    Thank you for recording this. It's so hard to find Scots versions, as most are Irish.
    My Grandmother was from Balloch and always sung this to us as kids. After she had a stroke she was bed ridden for three years and couldn't speak. But i would whisper the first line in her ear and she could sing the whole song right through. She died in 1994.
    Now it's 2022 and I'm looking after Mum who has late stage Alzheimer's. I've driven her up to Scotland and Loch Lomond three times in the last 12 months, and it's such a very special place.
    Playing this song to Mum, and seeing her sing along brings tears to my eyes. Chokes me up.
    Thank you for your beautiful rendition.

    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, as 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, though 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!
    Someone had to write the lyrics…
