<P> Weatherly gave the song to the vocalist Elsie Griffin, who made it one of the most popular songs in the new century . In 1915, Ernestine Schumann - Heink produced the first recording of "Danny Boy". </P> <P> Jane Ross of Limavady is credited with collecting the melody of "Londonderry Air" in the mid-19th century from a musician she encountered . </P> <P> 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, And 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, And I am dead, as dead I well may be, Ye'll come and find the place where I am lying, And kneel and say an "Avé" 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! </P> <P> There are various suggestions as to the true meaning of "Danny Boy". Some have interpreted the song to be a message from a parent to a son going off to a war or uprising (as suggested by the reference to "pipes calling glen to glen") or leaving as part of the Irish diaspora . </P>
