"Danny Boy" is a folk song with lyrics written by English lawyer Frederic Weatherly in 1910, and set to the traditional Irish melody of "Londonderry Air" in 1913. Notable covers 1957 Harry Belafonte sang the song live on the album "An Evening with Harry Belafonte", where he began the song with a spoken recitative, before singing the two verses. He repeated the second half of the first verse the second time around. The recitative goes: The Time, a time of strife. The Place, the place is Ireland. And as Irish legend had it, as the last rose of Summer fell, and all the young men of Ireland were to gather to strike a blow For Ireland's Freedom and Ireland's Liberty, There were songs for those who stayed at home, and songs for those who went away, and all of Ireland was sad. 1970 John Lennon, at the end of their song One After 909 during their famous Rooftop Concert, Let It Be album 1972 Roy Orbison 1976 Elvis Presley 1992 Eric Clapton 1994 Roger Whittaker 1998 Charlotte Church 1998 Sinéad O'Connor "And I will take your pike and place my dearest.
