Danny Boy

Oh danny boy. then pipes

the pysis are calling

From glen to glen and

down the mtnside

The Summers gone and

all the roses falling

Itys you its you must

go and I must

bide But come ye

back when summers

in the meadows or when

the valley's hushed &

white with snow

Its 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

if I am dead as dead

I well may be. ye'll

come and find the

[PAGE 4]

place where I am lying

and kneel and say

an arie there for me

and I shall hear

tho soft you tread

above me and o're

my grave will

warmer, sweeter be

for you will bend &

tell me that you

love me and I shall

sleep in peace until

you come to me


Repeat: Its I'll

be here in sunshine
etc.

No One Ever Cared For Me Like
Jesus

I would love to tell

you what I think of Jesus

since I found Him my

friend

So strong and true I would

tell you how He changed my

life completely

He did something that no

other friend could do.


Chorus

No one ever cared for

me like Jesus

Theres no other friend

so kind as He

No one else could take

the sin and darkness

from me

O how much He cared

for me.
