	The View From 103: Danny Boy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		I think that it is Danny boy's father, an old man. That is why it talks about him possibly being in the grave when Danny come home.

		Cash says that the song is about a girl who has to go into the peat bogs and tell her lover that the pipes are calling him off to war.

		It is known as "Londonderry Air" in some folks circles, and a lovely band arrangement was done with the title "Irish Tune from County Derry".
		I can't really take Danny Boy too much, overplayed against some of the great other trad songs, but it still gives me the tears sometimes, and I like to sing it to myself.
		Perhaps the singer mourns not only the loss of the emigrant; perhaps the singer mourns the loss of the song.
