I Want You Back, Danny Boy

about

Arranged for and used to perform this parody/medley with the great Colorado Celtic Rock band I used to front, "Delilah's Revenge." Never got a finished recording with the band, so I made my own :-)

lyrics

[Danny Boy]
O Danny Boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen and down the mountainside.
The summer's gone and all the flowers are dying
'Tis you, 'tis 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.
'Tis I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow.
O Danny Boy, O Danny Boy, I love you so.

[Loch Lomond]
Oh you take the high road
And I'll take the low road
And I'll be in Scotland before ye
And me and my true love will never meet again
On the bonny bonny banks of Loch Lomond

[I Want You Back]
When I had you to myself, I didn't want you around
Those pretty faces always made you stand out in a crowd
But someone picked you from the bunch, one glance was all it took
Now it's much too late for me to take a second look

Oh, baby, give me one more chance (To show you that I love you)
Won't you please let me (Back in your heart)
Oh, darlin', I was blind to let you go (Let you go, baby)
But now since I see you in his arms (I want you back)

[Red is the Rose]
Come over the hills, my bonnie Irish lass
Come over the hills to your darling
You choose the rose, love, and I'll make a vow
That I'll be your true love forever
Red is the rose that in yonder garden grows
Fair is the lily of the valley
Clear is the water that flows from the Boyne
And my love is fairer than any

[Danny Boy]
But come ye back when summer's in the meadow,
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow.
'Tis I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow.
O Danny Boy, O Danny Boy, I love you so.
