He was 22 and his beloved wife, Katherine, was 21, their baby was 2. They were young and full of life,
as you are now.

In 1861 they traveled by wagon from Alabama to their new home on the frontier, Mississippi.

He answered his Country's call
when the war tocsin sounded.

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 flowers are dying

'Tis you, 'tis you must go and I must bide.

But come ye back 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 if you come, when all the flowers are dying

And 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 "Avé "  there for me.

And I shall hear, tho' soft you tread above me

And all my dreams will warm and sweeter be

If you'll not fail to tell me that you love me

I'll simply sleep in peace until you come to me.

"I'll simply sleep in peace until you come to me."
