The Young Danny Boy Poem by Francis Duggan

It does seem he will never grow old Danny Boy
As long a life as Methuselah he will enjoy
The day i was born of time he had lived quite a span
And today i am aging and he remains as a young man
The song about him i often hear at the community club
And by ballad singers at the local pub
I have been listening to his song perhaps for too long
Danny Boy remains young in the words of the song
Long after my bones lay whitened and cold
The young Danny Boy he will not be old
In centuries from now he will be young
At the local pub his song will be sung
Just goes to prove the fact and fact never lie
That music and song they will never die.
