I think this version is too high, because I have the music, and when I play it, I believe this version is one or two keys higher than the regular music. This is good though, thanks. :)

@CDSing101 This is in the key of D. There may be scores available in other keys, as sheet music was often sold in alternative versions to suit different voice types :-)

[animalgirl224]

i know this song and the lyrics are so not right

[softpianola]

@animalgirl224 These lyrics are by Fred Weatherly to a tradional Irish melody called the Londonderry Air. The most popular alternative lyrics begin In Derry Vale, beside the singing river, so oft' I strayed, ah, many years ago, and culled at morn the golden daffodillies that came with spring to set the world aglow.

I loved can I record wth my voice?

[softpianola]

@Flamorgan @Flamorgan That's not quite correct. "Eily Dear" refers to an alternative version published in 1918 for men to sing. Fred Weatherly was an Englishman who wrote numerous song lyrics from the mid-19th century onwards, his most famous song being perhaps "The Holy City". The Londonderry Air is indeed a traditional Irish song in its own right, though several lyricists have used it for their own words. The version of Danny Boy I used was published in 1913.

[softpianola]

@Flamorgan Fred Weatherly wrote "Danny Boy" to a different melody, but later adapted the words to fit the Londonderry Air. This is the version of "Danny Boy" I used, which was published by Boosey in 1913. I know nothing about it being used for 1st World War propaganda; perhaps you could reveal your source?

[Girlycookies]

I dont really like the song but the way my teacher tells a sad story I love it. Its kind of weird.

[revpreg]

I love this song, but I have to agree with CDSing that this version is just too high for me.

[eagleaerie5]

I like this version very much. There may be some "wrong words" but it surely sounded more Irish to me.

[WammyBoyLover121]

@shanesgirl1000 There is ONE wrong word, its not "It's i'll be there," its supposed to be "yes I'll be there"
