Danny Dear

Daddy was a handsome lad close on seventeen



And every girl he met was mad to be Danny's queen



Danny dear oh Danny dear Danny don't be cold



Now's the time for loving dear not when we grow old







First came Kate and then came Sue and after her came Jane



And each girl in her turn would sing to Danny this refrain



Danny dear oh Danny dear...



[ piano ]



But Danny was the roving kind and he would not stay



In the arms of any girl even when she'd say



Danny dear oh Danny dear...







Then one day he met a girl as fair as any rose



And Danny's roving days were done for she made him propose



Aileen dear oh Aileen dear Aileen don't be cold



Now's the time for loving dear not when we grow old
