Also known as Danny Boy this lovely melody is over 150 years old and needs little introduction here. However, the usual assumption that the song is about a girl who is sad that her boyfriend is going away and pleading with him to come back is probably not correct. It is more likely to be the boy’s mother. In the second verse she tells us she will have died before he returns.
