You got a ticket in your pocket So long Danny boy Apple seed inside your locket She'll miss you Danny boy It broke your heart, she poisoned the river Turned brown the azure sky And every fallen angel weeps when Amber waves goodbye
In the red glare, fiery fountain She lost you Danny boy Echo down the purple mountain She calls you Danny boy Was a time you ran to your mother Took her dancing through the rye Now every fallen angel weeps when Amber waves goodbye
Spacious skys In your eyes Boy, she woke you from that dream Of youth and innocence Join the parade of Heroes betrayed Whose blind devotion paid the consequence Now she needs you now Danny boy
Bright white crosses line the hillside So long Danny boy She prayed to heaven But you still died Please come back Danny boy God bless the poor she left in the streets Lord she heard those boabies cry Those little fallen angels weep cause Amber waves goodbye Those little fallen angels weep cause Amber waves goodbye
