Danny Boy. The beautiful celtic folk ballad, OH DANNY BOY. Associated with Ireland and the Irish, this sad song is also called The Londonderry Air. The a capella harmony and melody of the song was arranged by this Welsh trio from Anglesey, North Wales. The lyrics of this song of love between a father and son are below

The group "Canig" are members of Cantorion Colin Jones, a male voice choir from North Wales, based in Betws y Coed, Eryri (Snowdonia). Please visit the choir's new website at www.cantorioncolinjones.co.uk and http://www.cantorioncolinjones.co.uk/guestbook

***The Trio is available to contribute to a limited number of concerts in aid of the
Help For Heroes Charity in the UK if required*** We are also available to sing in weddings and functions. We are working on a new CD this year

Lyrics below:

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
'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
Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so.

And when you 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, tho' soft you tread above me
And all my grave shall 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.
