[quote=ROGERINCA ,25459]Yes Rita, I love that song so very much too !!Here is some information on its origin:Gather a group of Americans of Irish descent for a wake or a funeral and the odds are good you'll hear the haunting melody, and possibly the chilling verse of Danny Boy. Hard as it might be to believe, the notion that it's an old "Irish" song is pure fiction. In fact, the ENGLISH lyricist Frederick Weatherly published the words in 1913. He had started work on the verse several years earlier but it finally came together when in 1912, his sister-in-law sent him a tune called Londonderry Air - from her home in America, which he immediately matched to his verse of Danny Boy ! :) :)[/quote]
